As some of you know I signed up to do the London Triathlon on Sunday to avoid going to seed too much while on gardening leave. Initially I hadn't planned on raising any money or doing for a cause (mainly as it's my first one so was worried I would drown).

But - circumstances change so I thought why not try and raise some money for a good cause.

I am participating in aid of Cancer Research UK in memory of my uncle who sadly passed away recently after a brief battle with a very aggressive form of the disease.

My cousin has also started a fundraiser (link below), so I thought I would do the same. Every little helps

I'm sure everyone has or will have people in their lives affected by cancer so please donate whatever you can if you are able.

And I'll try not to drown on the swim leg. That would be highly embarrassing now...

Update: Did not drown and managed to complete successfully in 3hours and 9 minutes. Bring on the next one.
