Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

I have been fortunate to qualify for the World Championship Ironman Competition in Hawaii in October - http://ironmanworldchampionship.com. I qualified following my performance in the UK ironman in August and it is a real honor.

 

I am raising money for Cri Du Chat Syndrome Support Group www.criduchat.co.uk  The charity is close to my heart as my son, George, has the condition. He is my first child with Ella and was diagnosed with Cri Du Chat shortly after birth. We were told that his development would be slow and he would have learning disabilities, but despite this he is a beautiful, happy and caring little boy who loves making friends and exploring the world!

 

The triathlon takes place on October 8th 2011 in. It will be my 10th Ironman and I've been doing a lot of training, with weekends given over to long cycles across the country and pounding the London streets. The event starts at 6.30am with a 2.4 mile swim, followed by 112 mile bike ride in the hot windy lava fields and finishing with a marathon run. It's going to be a long, hot day, but Ella, George and Will along with family and friends, will be there all day shouting their support! You can follow my training at http://11weekironman.blogspot.com

 

Please make this day extra special for George and children with his condition by donating money through JustGiving. The money we raise will help the group to support families of sufferers, raise awareness of Cri Du Chat and fund further research projects.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

 

I am funding all the costs of the trip myself. Everything raised goes to and stays with the charity.
