Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

So somehow I have been persuaded into doing the swim part of a team triathlon. This triathlon takes place in 6 weeks. So far I have done 2 swims in training. This is the full amount of swimming I have done without a child in my arms for the last 3 years. As you are probably aware I am pretty busy, therefore training time is going to be limited. It could be an interesting experience, although I'm hoping that due to my intensive weights regime (3 toddlers) my arm muscles are pretty strong.

Not only do I have to swim, but I have to swim in the Thames. Eeek.

The other 2 members of the team are also Mums of twins - in fact the Wandsworth Twins Club is putting forward 5 teams. If you want something doing ask someone busy!

Now you've stopped laughing please help make it worth while and keep me going through the murky depths. 

 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
