Story
After completing the Manchester and London marathons on consecutive Sundays and raising £3500 for The Christie Charity, the journey continues.
This time, the challenge goes beyond 26.2 miles.
Over the next four months, I will be taking on:
3 Triathlons and 1 Half IRONMAN® (70.3)
Testing endurance, resilience and determination — while continuing to raise vital funds for The Christie Charity.
Every swim, every mile and every step is dedicated to supporting cancer care, research and hope.
THE EVENTS
Southport Triathlon: Sunday 17 May
Slateman Triathlon Snowdonia: Sunday 14 June
Ripon Triathlon York: Sunday 12 July
½ IRONMAN® (70.3) Weymouth: Sunday 20 September
THE CHALLENGE
3 TRIATHLONS (Standard Olympic: 1.5k, 40k, 10k)
Building endurance, strength and resilience through swim, bike and run disciplines.
½ IRONMAN® (70.3)
The ultimate endurance challenge:
1.9km swim
90km bike ride
21.1km run
A test of physical and mental determination.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Just a short time ago, I was recovering from Stage Two bowel cancer and could barely run 200 metres.
Today, this campaign represents something much bigger than sport.
# Beyond 26.2 is about:
# Resilience
# Recovery
# Second chances
# Pushing beyond limits
# Supporting life-saving cancer care
This challenge is my way of giving something back to The Christie for the care and support they provide to thousands of families every year.
