Hello, and thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

On June 14th I will be taking part in my first middle distance (and second ever!) triathlon. It is based around (and in!) lake Bala in Wales and is made up of a 2000m swim, 80km bike ride and 20km run. Bala is meant to be quite hard, even for a triathlon, and it will take upto 6 hours for me to complete the course. Quite honestly I must be mad!

That said, I hope something good can come out of this madness so I am trying to raise some much needed funds for the UK Pulmonary Hypertension Association.

The PHA continues to support individuals with Pulmonary Hypertension and their family members. They also work to raise awareness of this rare and serious condition in the general public and healthcare workers. The education and support services they provide result in a direct benefit to patients. They also sponsor research aimed at improving our understanding and treatment of Pulmonary Hypertension. 

I hope you are able to support them by sponsoring me!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Pulmonary Hypertension Association UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please, if you can, sponsor me now. Any amount will be much appreciated and will provide me with even more motivation during the event!

More information on pulmonary hypertension and the PHA is available via their website www.pha-uk.com

Many thanks for your support.
