Story

Donations to Unicef are being tripled matched (£1 raised --> £3) over Sept. So it feels like time to get my hands dirty/sweaty with a personal challenge.

Over Sept I'll be training for and completing my DIY sprint trialthlon around east London (27th of Sept: 750 swim, 20k cycle, 5k run). Given I don't own a bike and my open water swimming experience is a dip in Hampstead ponds, it's going to be grim.

Why? Unicef really is on the front line of the pandemic, already delivering over 7.5m masks, 2.8m respirators, 550k tests and being the organisation already preparing to lead the delivery of a vaccine in 92 countries. 

I would love to raise £500 so that £1500 can go towards the desperately needed more PPE, more sanitation equipment, more community workers, more remote learning programmes and hopefully distribution of a vaccine. So any help to get there would be amazing!!
