Hi, thanks for visiting my page for The Meningitis Trust. If you do not know the symptoms of this disease then I would strongly recommend reading about it as is a fast acting disease.

 

I have seen this with my nephew but luckily fast action and treatment and he was ok but others are not so lucky.

 

In July I am taking part in Ironman Austria triathlon and then just 1 month later I taking part in the Outlaw Triathlon in Nottingham.

Each of these starts with a 2.4 mile lake swim, followed by a 112 mile cycle ride and to top that off a marathon 26.2 miles with just the 17 hours to complete and various cut off times. I would normally leave a year between Ironman distance races so the second event will be even more of a challenge.

 

Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor me and donations will be quickly processed and passed to charities. Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this.
