Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page

I'm doing a couple of events this summer to raise money for the charity York Against Cancer -http://www.yorkagainstcancer.org.uk/

York is my home town and knowing people locally who have recently been affected by cancer, I'd like to raise as much money as possible for YAC. Over the last 22 years, the charity has significantly improved the lives of cancer sufferers in many ways, including supporting research into cancer at York University, education in local schools, as well as supporting the Cancer Care Centre at York District Hospital.

From 14th to 26th June, 8 of us from the York area will be doing the Land's End to John O'Groats bike ride (around 1,000 miles - there's a map of the route in the photos!)

Then, on 4th Sept I'll be racing in the Vitruvian triathlon in Rutland (it's half ironman distance - 1.9k open water swim, 85k bike, 21k run) http://www.pacesetterevents.com/vitruvian-triathlon.php

Both of these events are much further than anything I've taken on before & so will be a real challenge!

Any donations either through this site or in person would be very much appreciated!
