Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.


We are all, or will be in the future have a loved one touched by the hand of Cancer, some may fully recover and lead a healthy life, some may not be so lucky and be taken away from us when they are not yet ready to leave their loved ones.

Why an Olympic distance Triathlon for my first ever competitive sporting event, other than playing darts for my local pub 30 years ago? Because its a big challenge for me, time is the biggest sacrifice i can make, time for training to complete this triathlon to the best of my ability.
1500m swim - 40k cycle - 10k run

Why is £2200 my target?
220 minus your age is the rule of thumb for working out your heart rate max, your heart rate max is your guide for your training so i just added a 0.

As we get older more and more of us will start a Justgiving page for an event that has affected their lives and given them the impetus to push themselves for a worthy goal, this is mine.
