Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and make a difference to people with visual impairment.
So the race ..... 2.4 mile swim 112 mile bike 26.3 mile run ..... in one day !! The cut off time is 15 hours. This for me has been a 6 month training programme leading to the race on July 3rd. I have only just launched the fundraising campaign as I wanted to complete half the distance so I know I can attempt it ....(some of you may know I have a rebuilt knee so that's been a concern) ....but 3 months in its game on !
This is the biggest physical challenge I have/probably will face in my entire life. I have chosen to support a local charity in Cambridge that does terrific work helping people in the community with poor or no vision. Working in the Optical community I have witnessed the difference they make and I want to do something to support their cause.
They provide emotional and practical advice to local people of all ages affected by sight loss. The children and
young people services provide life-long skills and support for both children and parents.
Cam Sight also supports people in maintaining their independence and quality of life. They work to prevent avoidable sight loss and to raise awareness of the reality of living with sight difficulties.
I'd also like to thank C6 bikes in Waterbeach for the guidance and support they have given me in bike choice ....a subject I know very little about !
Thanks again for supporting me and Camsight ...its much appreciated !
