<p>Hello!</p> <p>So, you know already that im crazy, i am doing possibly one of the hardest challenges a human can face, an Ironman. This event is taking place in Bolton on 31st July. It includes 3.8k swim, 112mile bike and finishing on a marathon, i am seriously competing, not just completing this event, and aiming around 11-12 hours completion time, top 3 in my age category.</p> <p>I am training as a full time athlete, training for the Ironman and rowing. However, in life, not everyone has the opportunity to pursue their dreams, their ambitions, and i am lucky to be here, let alone be a full time athlete. I am doing the Ironman in aid of cancer research, in aid of my family and friends who have been sadly lost and diagnosed with cancer. Sadly, recently a true friend, Cherry Hampton, has been diagnosed with cancer, and she is fighting every day.</p> <p>Every single donation will help treat cancer patients. Please, do give any form of donation that you can, every penny goes a long way, and i am truely greatful for your kindness and support.</p> <p>If you are a UK taxpayer, please remember to tick the Gift Aid box when donating as this will increase your donation by at least 25% at no cost to you..</p> <p>Best wishes, Nikki :)</p>
