Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After a relatively quiet year, autumn has come around and so the time to set some challenges. Starting on 4th September, I'm doing my first ever sprint triathlon (that's 750m swim, 20km cycle, 5km run), having been roped in by my sister (and supermum!) Susan.

One week later, it's time to join active and not-so-active work colleagues to cycle from Glasgow to Edinburgh. This one is raising money for STV Children's appeal - you can donate for that one here. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/uebs

Then finally, only 23rd September, Susan, mum and I will be walking 10 miles through the streets of Edinburgh in the Maggies culture crawl.

Maybe these things sound easy, maybe they don't. To put in context, I've never done a sprint triathlon, I've never cycled more than 25 miles and mum has definitely never done a 10 mile walk! So please help give us the motivation to keep going and help raise awareness of some brilliant charities. Thanks!
