Story

UPDATE & APOLOGY - GREAT NORTH TRIATHLON CHALLENGE POSTPONED

For those of you who don't know, my year hasn't quite gone as planned. I underwent emergency abdominal surgery in April and have been recovering since then.

I had hoped to be fit & strong enough for my BIG CHALLENGE by now - this is the weekend when I'd planned to swim across 5 lakes, next week was going to be cycling Hadrian's Wall Cycleway with friends and the Great North Run is on 8th September - but I'm sad to say that I'm just not up to doing it.

I have deferred my entry to the GNR to 2025 and will try again next year!! In the meantime, I'm swimming regularly and will be back on my bike soon.

THANK YOU to everyone who donated to Growing Well - sorry it was under false pretenses this time round - I'll be back next year to complete my Great North Triathlon Challenge.

We're still celebrating 20 years of Growing Well and fundraising for all 3 of our sites across Cumbria - keep any eye on our website for more information and upcoming events https://www.growingwell.co.uk/

THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR LOVELY MESSAGES AND SUPPORT
