Story
Dorothy house hospice have given the most incredible care to my dad and support to our family during his battle and ever so importantly during his last weeks of life.
Dad was in the late stages of cancer and all of the staff were so dedicated, passionate and helpful to us. From the specialist palliative nurses to the carers, to the people we spoke to on the phone everyone was beyond supportive and really made such a huge difference to helping us get through what was such a hard time.
I honestly don’t know where we’d of been without them!
With this In mind I want to do what I can to give them something back., so I will be undertaking my first Ironman race in Nice France on June 14th.
It consists of a 2.4 mile sea swim, straight into a 112 mile bike ride up into the surrounding mountains with 6500ft of climbing, returning to nice for a 26 mile run to finish. I’ve only ever done short distance triathlons so this is a massive step up, please help me help Dorothy house with any donations you can manage, it’s such a worthy cause.
P.s the photo is my dad completing his 4th triathlon after being diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. I hope I have half of his courage and strength to complete my challenge!
