UK Ironman for Macmillan Cancer supportFinally I will attempt the biggest challenge of my life the full Ironman this is a terrifying prospect.....2.2mile swim followed by a 112 mile bike ride and then a full marathon 26.2 miles. I need to finish inside 17 hours to be an official finisher...can I do it? I have decided on Macmillan Cancer after months of deliberation and many fabulous suggestions for some very worth charities. The decision was easy in the end when a she-ro of mine Dee Heymerdinger died of cancer after being one of Macmillan's biggest fundraisers. It is with her husband Tim's permission that I have the honor of swimming, cycling and running in her name, to continue the great work she did for this charity. Dee passed away peacefully in Willen Hospice so please donate for the Half and full Ironman in her name and to support the charities and help me to raise lots of money for them. you can donate at www.justgiving.com/wineman2ironman
