Ooooo I'd sooo do a team Tri.

We can upgrade to a hospital bed if you want. I can soooo train for laying in a bed for 26 miles!

One of the consultants was the fastest person across the channel the year he did it so I guess he'll do the swim.
The other one is mostly a runner (1:20ish for 1/2) so guess I'll be doing the bike leg.
Hopefully my mediocraty will be hidden by their brilliance. ;)

Nici- get your own arse round VLM dear. ;):P

I've caved Nici. Just emailed the Papworth fundraising team to see if they have any gold bond places. I suppose I ought to open my magazine now.

I feel shamed and dirty.

Ditzy you'll be able to defer if you feel you can't recover and train for it. When is it?

More a case of really wanting to run VLM Sioux. I am not going to get a slot through work so why not run for the people who cared for my wife in her last few weeks?

And if along the way I can encourage a few more people to sign up for organ donation then others befalling my misfortune will be encouraged to help others. 3 people somewhere out there have a much better life now because of my wife.

Very true Stander.

You made a brave and selfless decision at the most difficult of times.

I hope Papworth have a charity place for you.
