On June 14th I will be competing in Ironman Staffs, comprising of a 1.2 mile open water swim followed by a 56 mile bike ride with a 13.1 mile run to top it off....and after a 5 week rest I will be competing in Ironman UK, comprising of a 2.4 mile open water swim followed by a 112 mile bike ride with a 26.2 mile run to top it off. The events promise to be tough both physically and mentally. Raising money for charity is a first for me and I feel I should use these events as a reason to help out where I can in hoping to raise funds which will no doubt be well appreciated. Macmillan Cancer Support is something many people depend on and who we may depend on in the future. My events are all paid for so any monies raised will go soley to the Macmillan. From a personal point of view fundraising will ensure that even if I am crawling, I will cross the line. Many thanks for your consideration.
