Fundraising Mission for the Cancer Society and Child Cancer Foundation

As part of my journey from Fat to Fit in 18 months (started on 29th May 2011) I have signed up for four triathlons, enrolled in the April Loses it Challenge and I am also working towards passing the NZ Police Fitness Appraisal Tests before I am 40 (By 22nd Sept 2012).

I'll do all the hard work; train for and complete in these four triathlon events as part of my journey from Fat to Fit but I really need your help to make a difference to my charities.

I have chosen the Cancer Society & Child Cancer Foundation as my charities of choice, as I have over the years:

Worked in the Child Cancer Ward in Wellington.

Unfortunately had to attend the funeral of a colleagues young child in 2005.

I am currently supporting and following a friends journey as she fights for her precious boy. He is one of the poster boys and Stars on the latest video advertisement for Child Cancer.

Cancer has affected many of my friends and family over the last few years and seems to really have exploded just lately and it has been quite an intense few years with multiple diagnosis of friends and family as well as the very sad passing of 5 very Special People.
My Goal is $6,000 which is $1,000 for each triathlon, and $1,000 for each of my other goals, April Loses It and Police Fit by 40.
however.....as you know these are both great charities, so the more the merrier.....If you find another challenge you want to add to my list.....then drop me a line on my blog, and lets see if we can all work together to go past my first fundraising target.
