It's a charity best known for providing Cancer care for those who need it. 

- It's helped some people very close to me in times of need; the feeling of relief and gratitude to charities such as the Christie really is highlighted when it's so close to home. 

- I actually got knocked off my bike last summer and there was one person who go straight out of his car, loaded my bike in, shoved me in the front seat and took me home. This chap turned out to work for the Christie named Adrian Ellison and at the time i'd just signed up to the Ironman so I said if i ever got around to raising money, I'd do it for the Christy. 

A BIT ABOUT ME, AND THE IRONMAN

ME

Whilst I consider myself to be fit as a result of enjoying the 3 sports involved in a triathlon - The ONLY events I've ever entered are 2, 5k park runs, I've never competed in anything else, let alone a triathlon of this size. 

I have been training properly for about 6 months now and feeling good, albeit a little nervous as the date gets closer.

You can keep up to date with some of my recent training efforts through my Strava connected to my JustGiving page. 

WHEN - 4TH JULY 

WHAT

A triathlon is a Swim, a Cycle then a Run in that order. 

Please visit: https://www.ironman.com/im-uk where you'll find out all you need to know on the Ironman. 

In all honesty, it's a brutal course of a brutal event, but i've been threatening to do it for years so I'm putting my money where my mouth is. And by money I mean getting as much as I can for this Charity.
