1 down, 4 to go. Triathlon completed in 2:43:57. 2 weeks until the Great North Run.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Between 2 Sep and 27 Oct 12 I will taking part in the below events. I am not required to raise any sponsorship but I'm going to anyway :)
2 Sep 12 Perranporth Surf Triathlon (1000m surf swim, 35km cycle, 7.5km run)
16 Sep 12 Great North Run (13.1 miles)
23 Sep 12 Devil Run (15k cross-country) at the Devil’s Punch Bowl, Hindhead) – in support of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines’ Charity (RNRMC). I have made a donation to the RNRMC and it does allow for me to raise money for my own charity so am going to sneak this one in!
7 Oct 12 RNLI 10K (10k along Southsea Sea Front) – in support of the RNLI (hence the name!) so I shan’t be counting it as an event towards this sponsorship effort. Besides, it’s only 6 miles so nothing more than a training run :p
27 Oct 12 Great South Run (10 miles)
I hope to raise some sponsorship for Combat Stress who are the leading UK charity specialising in the care of Veterans’ (including reservists who have served in permanent service) mental health. Combat Stress are currently supporting just over 5,000 ex-Service men and women. This includes 637 who served in Iraq and 284 who served in Afghanistan.
If you would like to show your support for this excellent charity then please do so at:
