What I'm doing
Long course weekend Mallorca, which consists of:
DAY 1 - 3.8KM SWIM
DAY 2 - 172KM CYCLE
DAY 3 - 42KM RUN
Why I'm doing it
Some of you may know my Cousin Donna lost her husband to Oesophageal Cancer. My Cousin is the same age as me, her 3 young boys the same ages as my girls. They are also one of the nicest families I know.
For a long time I've wanted to take part in The Long Course Weekend, but have been putting it off for many reasons; "lack of fitness", "no time to train" "I'll do it next year"….but Martyns death was all too real and it showed me life is too short, you never know when the end is going to hit you in the face
Sadly Martyn lost his battle with cancer and passed away on 28th November 18. He spent the last few weeks of his life at St Wilfrid's Hospice in Eastbourne. It was a safe and welcoming place his family could go and spend precious time together. Donna tells me it was a happy place and the staff there really supported her during this difficult time.
Places like St Wilfrid's Hospice rely on donations and with so many closing down around the country, its really important we keep them going. So in memory of Martyn, in support of my Cousin Donna and her 3 beautiful boys, who have all been so unbelievably strong and inspiring during this tragic time, I am dedicating this race to them and hope you'll help me in supporting my cause.
All money raised will so to St Wilfrids Hospice, so they can continue to support families, like Donnas.
Please give what you can.
