Thank you for visiting my JustGiving Page in memory of my dad Somerled Mitchell - 'Mitch'. 

My Dad was such a tough, stoical Yorkshireman who loved a challenge. Being inspired by his strength  and determination, over the last few years I have been completing 10K, half marathons and a marathon in his memory after he lost his brave battle with bowel cancer on 10th September 2003. 

Having inherited the 'Mitch' spirit for competition, I like to give myself a tough challenge and this year I have upped the game to include some new sports and take part in the Brownlee Triathlon! On 26th September I will be putting on my wetsuit for a 750m swim; getting on my bike for 26k ride before lacing up my shoes for a 5.5k run. 

Having only learnt to swim front crawl and ride a road bike in the last few months, I need all the support I can get to survive mission Tri-Hard for Mitch!!! 

By donating to my page you will give me the inspiration to succeed; knowing that the money raised is going to  such a worth while cause that will help Yorkshire Cancer Research fund world-class research to help cancer patients in Yorkshire.. Thank you.
