As the saying goes; "all good things come in threes". I am doing three triathlons this year. Blenheim Palace in June, London in August and Brighton & Hove in September.

Needless to say I have never done anything like this before. The closest I have come to any sort of endurance test is a 5k run….

I am doing this challenge to support and raise funds for the extraordinary work War Child does to protect and help innocent children caught up in the perils of war. Let's dig deep together in aid of children that deserve to be just that.

Check out their website to learn more and hear the children's own stories.
