Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We are raising money for the Chestnut Appeal, which supports men with prostate cancer in the south west. It is an important charity that has funded six nurses and a variety of treatments and equipment. http://www.chestnutappeal.org.uk/about-us

The events that we are doing:

  • 26th April - Stuart is running London Marathon and Tamsyn is running Southampton Half Marathon
  • 18th July - We are swimming around St. Michael's Mount: http://www.chestnutappeal.org.uk/events/141-st-michaels-mount-swim
  • 9th August - We are both doing IronmanDublin 70.3 (1.9k swim; 90k bike; 21.1k run)
  • 5th September - This is the big one. We are going to tackle the Scilly Swim Challenge - 15k swim and 10k walk.

Tamsyn only started learning to swim in 2013 and neither of us has ever swum more than 2.8k before, so this is going to take a lot of training. We're hoping that you'll support us on our way to completing this tough year... and that you'll also sponsor us to help our chosen charity.
