Personal message

On the 18th and 19th of November, I will be doing TWO back-to-back FULL Ironman triathlon distances, in the Cradle of Humankind, in support of The Paige Project and humbly ask for any donation to this incredible cause.

Many of you know, 11 years ago, @David Barson, @Grant Nock, @James Barson and I, started this charity organisation called The Paige Project to raise funds for disadvantaged African children living with physical and mental disabilities primarily caused by cerebral palsy. These disabilities are grossly overlooked by society and receive very little mainstream attention. It was and still is our vision and dream to bring as much comfort to those affected because they will truly never have a chance to live any kind of normal life. Having family members that suffer from Cerebral Palsy we know first hand exactly what this means.

The first few years of a cerebral palsy child's life are the most important for their development, thus it is imperative that these children receive the correct equipment and therapy to improve not only their quality of life, but their chance of living as close to a normal life as possible.

I will undertake to Swim/Bike/Run 2 Full Ironman distance triathlons back2back and graciously ask for donations to this wonderful cause that has changed so many lives. The past 2 years have left our supporter database lean and we are calling on favour from everyone who is able to assist.

We are asking for 2 things:

1.  Kindly donate to our cause using this fund page. Perhaps we can get creative and donate to each kilometre that I travel.

2.  Join me on either the 18th or 19th and Swim/Bike/Run with me at your preferred distance and raise money together. And if you have Paige Project kit, then Don your armour and come join me.

We will have a seconding support crew to assist in this challenge and updates will be sent to a whatsapp group at this number +27 63 839 1926 (please message this number to be added. And also to this facebook business page: facebookcom/coachtrc.

We are looking forward to a great turn out and we appreciate anything you can assist us with.

Much love
