Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

If you know me, you'll know that I'm either drinking cocktails or enjoying the outdoors!  Last year however, was more about the cocktails & bad eating.  I was feeling rubbish & needed a new challenge to get my fitness back.  I'm lucky enough to have good health, but I wasn't making the most of it, so decided to make a change!!

I was always going to the Outlaw Half to support Pete (Husband), so last week (16th March) I made a snap decision to contact the Karen Green Foundation to see if I could join their team, compete in the race & raise money for their fantastic charity...they said Yes!!!  Eeeeeks!!!

The Karen Green Foundation was established in 2012 to raise money for Leukaemia Charities & Hospitals treating patients who are suffering with Leukaemia & other cancers of the blood.  The KGF also helps to relieve those persons with Leukaemia, their families & carers.

I can't remember the last time I did any event for sponsorship & this triathlon will challenge me to the max, especially if I want to stay on Pete's tail!!  I would massively appreciate any donation, no matter how big or small...every penny makes a difference & I'm so chuffed to race for the local charity of this event.

In case you are unfamiliar with triathlon distances, then here's a little insight into what I'll be up to on 31st May 2015:

1.2 mile swim - 56 mile bike - 13.1 mile run - Only 2 months to conquer this - YIKES!!

Thanks peeps :)
