Cheers Pete thanks mate.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am competing in the Primera Newforest Middle distance triathlon on the 25th of September this year. I will be swimming 1.9K in a lake then cycling 56 miles through the New Forest to finish with a hilly 13.1 mile run.

I am looking to raise money for the Newborn baby appeal whilst doing this as we have first hand experience of the amazing work carried out at the General hospitals NICU when, on the 30th of November 2009, our baby boy Gabriel was born at home 7 weeks premature. My wife and Gabriel were ambulanced to the General where Gabriel spent the next 8 days in NICU receiving amazing treatment. Fortunately he got through the worst and after a few days he started to respond positively and my wife, Erika, was able to stay with him on the unit for 48 hours being constantly monitored in order to check that he was well enough to go home. The care and facilities provided were second to none and we feel we would like to contribute something back to this very worthwhile cause.

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.
