Hi everyone

Probably most of you don't know but I'm a huge F1 fan. Since I new that Jenson Button was organising this triathlon again this year I wanted to be part of it. For me is a great opportunity to combine my passion for F1 (by having the opportunity to meet a F1 world champion and the main driver of the best F1 team of all times - for those that don't know either, I support McLaren) with a the opportunity to challenge myself, get in shape (that I really need) and support Jenson Button in his mission to fundraise for Help for Heroes.

This triathlon is going to be the biggest physical test that I ever had. I know that is not a big event and the distances are "user-friendly", however, we still have to do it twice in the same day. I'm comfortable with swimming and cycling part of the triathlon, however running wasn't made for me :) and is in this last part that I am seriously challenging myself.

As this is my first fundraising event, I don't know the acceptability and the possibility of everyone to support this challenge, so I put my fundraising target in £125 (half of what suggested by the organisers). However, if you really want me to give me a huge incentive, I promise that if I reach the £200, I'll do all the triathlon without stopping and specially, all the running stage.

So, as we say in Portugal, "resumindo e concluindo" (summarising and concluding), if you want me to see and support me in getting in shape during the next months and achieve something that one year ago was impossible for me, please feel free to donate whatever you can

As the famous supermarket brand says "Every little helps"

Thank you very much

Mário
