Ladies and gents,
The time has come to start fundraising for this year's main triathlon event on my calendar. I am competing in Ironman: Wales in support of Scope. This is a milestone for me on the way to qualifying for Ironman: Kona, a 12+ Ironman journey over several years after which I will qualify for the raffle. You can follow me on The Fat Shadow's favourite gay dating site (Facebook for those that do not know):

My Virgin Money giving page is below:

For those of you who don't know I have Crohn's disease which, amoung other things, can really affect my energy levels. Raising money for these events keeps me motivated on those dark days. I will battle with problems along the way, feeding will be difficult as my guts are sensitive enough but it is very important to get it right, I am also doing the hardest Ironman with over 2000m of climbing on the bike alone.
I will be giving updates on my training and progression over the spring and summer in the build up to the event. I shall attempt to make it as light hearted as I can as well as taking my camera on my training sessions. Dig deep, even if you can only spare a few coppers, I don't mind. I accept cards (through the link above) cash, cheques, bitcoin and even magic beans (as long as they are unused) :D
Thank you!

Fair play to him though, we were sure he was going to fall asleep and be that year's human buckaroo....gutted when he seemed to slink off with a night cuddling Capt'n Zok instead ::)

Oh, and thanks to the latest donor. He tried to remain anonymous but I think I have figured out who it is :-*

Nah.. he's clearly going to be MAMIL'ed up for the cycling. ;D He just needs to avoid letting his standards drop in the other events. So, mankini in an attractive DPM pattern for the swimming.. What about the marath..
Oh, sorry. Not feeling too well. :(
