Story
Bernie and Will will be competing in a Half Ironman in August 2016 (our first). Its a triathlon of:
- 1.2 mile (1.9km) open water swim
- 56 mile (90km) cycle
- 13.1 mile (21.1km) run
Known as the Ironman 70.3, because of the total number of miles to cover!
This is the furthest we have ever challenged ourselves. It's a mammoth event, with weeks of training to look forward to. Getting us through this will be ever better if we can raise some money for The Haemochromatosis Society.
This is a fantastic cause, as Haemochromatosis has affected us personally. Haemochromatosis is a common genetic condition whereby the body absorbs too much iron, which it deposits in organs such as the liver, heart and pancreas. It is a condition that is often missed as a diagnosis, and is vital to be identified early to prevent the long-term effects of iron-overload.
Please sponsor us! Any amount will be greatly received, and we hope to make a big difference for patients in the UK who have this condition.
Many, many thanks
Bernie & Will xx
