Story

What am I doing?

Good question.. I have entered into a series of 3 triathlons:  (April19th- Southwell). (May 3rd-lincoln) (June 14th -  Woodhall spa) 

Go to www.onestepbeyond.org.uk to find out more or to enter yourself :)

Why?

Because I want to achieve something, raise money for a good cause, keep fit and have fun. 

I am hoping to raise at least £500 for cancer research, I don't think that's being to optimistic :). 

This time last year if you had told me I'd be swimming 400m then getting out rushing like mad and hopping on a bike for 12miles then ditching that and running 3miles all in record time I'd tell you to stop being ridiculous (and maybe a few other things;).) 

My goal..

My goal isn't just to finish all 3 events but to win my age category so it's even more difficult but I have been training since November. In total I have done 36 hours (637miles) on the bike since then, I have lowered my swim time from 12mins to 9mins, so lots of work is being done.

Be lovely and well appreciated if you would show your support.


How your money can help Cancer Research UK

Did you know that 80p in every pound you raise goes directly towards our work to beat cancer? Here are some examples of the money you raise in sponsorship – big or small – can help us become cancer’s worst nightmare:

  • £8 kits out our scientists with a lab timer, helping them to find out what makes a cancer cell tick.
  • £20 buys a lab coat, box of gloves and goggles. Not only geek chic, but vital items to help our scientists carry out life-saving research.
  • £70 pays for a Bunsen burner to help ignite groundbreaking research on a daily basis.
  • £180 pays for one day of a trial to discover faster diagnosis and new therapies to treat brain cancer.
  • £300 buys a hotplate to warm special solutions, turning up the temperature on groundbreaking research.
  • £450 pays for one day of a trial to diagnose prostate cancer earlier and more efficiently.
