Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. As many of you know, I have entered, and hopefully, attempting to finish to UK Ironman 70.3 on June 17th. This event is run on Exmoor at Wimbleball Lake as the start and finish points. It is a combination of 1.2 miles swim in the Lake followed by a 56 mile cycle over a very challenging Exmoor course and a small half marathon run to end with! It is without question one of my biggest physical and mental challenges I have ever embarked on and for this I would like some good to come out of it! I will be raising money solely for CRUSE who are a national bereavement support charity who rely on fundraising and public donations to continue their essential work. The monies raised will support the local branch based in South Devon.

 

I am hoping to finish the event in 7 hours. During this time I will be burning in the region of 6000 calories which is around 3 days of normal consumption. I have trained for over 8 months in all extremes of the British winter weather and would love for something good to come out of the pain I will surely suffer!

 

Please sponsor me for this worthwhile cause. No amount is too small.  For those of you local, I will be placing sponsor forms in The Bell Inn in Brixham and The Ship Inn in Kingswear. Thank you.
