Thanks to advances in cancer prevention, early detection and treatment, more people than ever before are surviving the disease. However, until there's a day when everyone wins the battle, there is still much more to do. 

My Tri is a great opportunity to make the most of your summer. Do laps in the hotel pool, your bike ride to work and the local parkrun - it all counts towards the triathlon distance of your choice.

All money raised will help support local families affected by cancer. Wessex Cancer Trust has 6 Support Centres across the Wessex region who help people with complementary therapies, counselling and support groups.
