On Sunday 8th August 2010, my great friend Dave Bentley and I took part in the London Triathlon in order to raise funds for, and awareness of, CRY.
The day went extremely well, and although it was very hard work it was massively rewarding to finish knowing we had completed it for such a worthy cause.
Dave and I undertook this event in memory of my daughter Amanda, who died suddenly on October 12th 2008.
This was the first of two challenges we had set ourselves this year – the second will begin in a few weeks time when we cycle from Land’s End to John O’Groats.
So far we have raised in the region of £1500 this year, and hope our cycle ride will take us above our £2000 target.
