Race Update
I survived, in a time of 4:27:54. No world record but it was all about completing the distance in one piece, so all your generous support was justified. Thank you so very much, it makes all the hard work worthwhile. You have raised £600 and broken my Dust Project target. Hats off to you, top people.

Thanks for supporting my fundraising.
The Dust Project is a not-for-profit organization working in Sri Lanka to support children, strengthen local commerce, and provide foundational security for families to thrive in their communities.
Through their Child Sponsorship program, and funding construction work as well as entrepreneurial and educational projects, their mission is to simply help where it’s most needed — building something that will last, empowering people to flourish. I have been a sponsor of a child in this program for nine years.
To learn more, visit www.thedustproject.com.
In support of their great work, I will be participating in the Hever Castle Olympic Triathlon on 24 September 2023, at the childhood home of Anne Boleyn.
Here I will have to:
- swim 1 mile (across a lake)
- cycle 25 miles (an undulating course taking in the Kent countryside)
- run 6 miles (a trail run through the castle grounds)
Thank you so much for your support!
