On 4th July, I am taking part in Ironman UK in memory of my dear brother Jim, who passed away 17 years ago from sudden cardiac arrest. I am aiming to raise money for Cardiac Risk in the Young (www.c-r-y.org.uk), who aim to reduce the frequency of young sudden cardiac death by working with cardiologists and family doctors to establish good practice and screening facilities to promote and protect the cardiac health of young people, as I believe appropriate screening may have saved Jim's life.

The Ironman event consists of:

2.4 mile swim

112 mile bike ride

26.2 mile run

..and to make things worse its in Bolton, and it's almost guaranteed to rain. You can track my progress, or lack thereof at:

Any donations, however small, would be greatly appreciated.
