Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In September 2024, I was completely taken by surprise when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. My life turned upside down and would never be quite the same again. I am very lucky to have had amazing support from my family and friends.

I am raising money for the Team Phoenix Foundation. They support women affected by breast cancer to rise from the ashes. They provide all the fees, equipment, training and support to a small group of women each year to take part in the Hever super sprint triathlon.

When I first heard about them, I was intrigued by the idea of training for a triathlon with the support of coaches, volunteers and a group of amazing women on similar journeys. However, I didn’t think I would ever be able to put my face in a lake to swim! After much consideration, I signed myself up and haven’t looked back. I have now had my first lake swim and loved it! The training is intense but is certainly good for the mind, body and soul.

With your kind donation, they will be able to support other women to "find their wings" and do something extraordinary with a new group of friends for life. Thank you.

The triathlon will take place on Saturday 26 September 2026
