I’ll be doing the Alderford Triathlon on 16 June 2024 to raise money for Huntington’s Disease Association.

The Olympic length triathlon consists of:

-> 1.5km open water swim

-> 40km cycle

-> 10km run

At the date of entering I’ve never done open water swimming, I don’t have a bike and I’ve never run further than a 5k… so it’s going to take a lot of hard work!

I would welcome any donations to this cause, no matter how small.

The Cause

Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive brain disorder caused by a defective gene. This disease causes changes in the central area of the brain, which affect movement, mood and thinking skills.

My Uncle Roy passed away in 2022, 13 years after being diagnosed with Huntingtons. He fought the disease and lived life to his fullest but unfortunately, whilst there are some treatments to ease some symptoms, there is currently no cure.

The Huntington's Disease Association supports anyone who is affected by Huntington's disease across England and Wales. We pursue the best possible care; provide training & advice to families and professionals; raise awareness, and promote research towards better treatment and care.
