In preparation for the ‘Three Peaks Challenge’ in June, where I will attempt to climb Mount Scafell, Mount Snowdon, and Ben Nevis within the space of 24 hours, I have crazily agreed to take part in the Duston Triathlon this April. 

The triathlon consists of a 400m swim, 20k bike ride and finally a 5k run (or jog, or walk, or crawl).. Many of the competitors in this event will be taking part within a team and will complete an individual leg of the triathlon.. I have decided to go SOLO, so therefore please do not expect me to finish in the top ten!!!! J

I will be competing in both the ‘Three peak challenge’ and the ‘Triathlon’ to raise money for MacMillan cancer support. Over the last few years, but more so recently, I have lost some very close family and friends to cancer, and I would therefore like to raise as much money as I possibly can to support this wonderful charity..  

I will be taking part in the memory of Kathy Searle, a very special aunt of mine that I recently lost to cancer late in 2008, Linda Toal, the mother of a close friend of mine who died more recently, and Susan Dale a close friend that we lost in June 2006.. 

I would gratefully appreciate any donation you could make, no matter how big or small this may be.. If I am honest, I am not currently at the height of physical fitness, however I can cast iron guarantee you that I will drag my sorry ar$e across the finish line if it kills me!! J

Thanks for your support
