Thanks for supporting my fundraising!

I AM RAISING FUNDS FOR TWO CHARITIES - THE DESIGN OF THIS WEBPAGE IS A LITTLE MISLEADING BUT DONATIONS GO TO BOTH SUDC UK AND PLASTIC FREE NORTH DEVON!

SUDC stands for Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood. Around 40 children in the UK a year are affected, and this charity provides vital support as well as raising awareness and driving research. Knowing a family affected by this, who also play a very important role with the charity, makes this a truly important cause to me. For more details - https://sudc.org.uk/

Plastic Free North Devon is a local environmental charity on a mission to protect and improve our environment through community-led action. Plastic Free North Devon also organise the Croyde Ocean Triathlon event!

As a youthful 38 year old, I decided to attempt to wind back the clock and do a triathlon for the first time in 12 years! I even thought I might perform better than in my relative youth. When I started training things were looking great, with some new PBs getting clocked up. Fast-forward to 39, with the triathlon coming up fast, and I let the training lapse a bit... not getting those PBs anymore.

The course is described as "stunning and savage", so not all good news. Please do donate as it will help me to tune out the "why am I doing this?" voice in my head as I try not to drown in Croyde Bay.

Thanks!
