People of Britain,

 

I write to you today with my cap in hand.  With your support I intend to raise funds and awareness for BRACE (Bristol Alzheimer’s Research Charity) and I shall do so by undertaking what can only be considered a rather arduous and ambitious duathlon.  As part of a dynamite trio charged with youth and unshakeable vigour we have created the formidable 2011 Bel-don challenge.  Over 100 miles of running and 500 miles of cycling between Belfast and London in 8 days

 

The titanic trio’s itinerary is planned as follows:

 

Sunday 10 April - 26.2m run, Belfast

Monday 11 April - ca. 100m cycle, Belfast to Dublin

Tuesday 12 April - 26.2m run, Dublin 

Wednesday 13 April - ca. 250m cycle, Holyhead to Bristol Day 1

Thursday 14 April - ca. 250m cycle, Holyhead to Bristol Day 2

Friday 15 April - 26.2m run, Bristol

Saturday 16 April - ca. 120m cycle, Bristol to London

Sunday 17 April - 26.2m run, Virgin London Marathon

 

My motivation?  My incredible Nan, who was the wittiest and most jovial woman to have ever graced this Earth and whom unfortunately suffered from Alzheimer’s during her final years.

 

So, I would be very grateful for any donations or support you can offer to encourage me along our journey.

 

Thanks for you time

 

Neil

 

HFB for life.
