Story

Hi everyone, thank you so much for visiting our site. Myself and Mythili have actually gone mad, when we signed up to do the triathlon in January it seemed like a really good idea, now it's only just round the corner and we can barely get into our wetsuits let alone swim in them. However, we remain strong in the face of such adversity and will battle on regardless with stiff upper lips (and legs, arms, backs etc).

We have decided to raise money for the Stroke Association, this is a charity that is very close to my heart.

Heres what they have to say:

 

'Every year an estimated 150,000 people in the UK have a stroke. Of all people who suffer from a stroke, about a third are likely to die within the first 10 days, about a third are likely to make a recovery within one month and about a third are likely to be left disabled and needing rehabilitation.
 
The Stroke Association is the only UK wide charity solely concerned with combating stroke in people of all ages.

The Stroke Association funds research into prevention, treatment and better methods of rehabilitation, and helps stroke patients and their families directly through its Life After Stroke Services.'

 

So please please help us to raise as much money as possible!
