My 15 year old son Rory went missing from a beach in Suffolk in August 2003.  The RNLI searched for him over several days and eventually recovered his body a week later.

I had hoped to take on a challenge in 2013 to mark the 10th aniversary of his death and raise some money for the RNLI. Circumstances meant that this was delayed till 2014 when I completed a mile in the Great East Swim as part of an over 50's programme then the Great North Run.  My supporters donated over £600.

I enjoyed these events and am going again in 2015, starting with an Olympic distance triathlon in Northumberland on 7 June, then the Great east swim 2 weeks later.  September sees the great North run again when I hope to knock 20 minutes off last years time of 2:04
