- My Permanent Residency application went through on 2nd Feb - now all I have to do is wait.
- I no longer have to go to physiotherapy at Caulfield (I miss Rod!)
- I turned 32.
- I completed the distances requires for a triathlon - 5km walk / 20 km cycle / 500 metre swim.
So it's game on... Now all I need is your help - the support and cash kind of help.
The idea behind the Triathlon is "Life After Injury"
A "sprint" triathlon is broken into 3 parts:
- 5 km run / walk
- 20 km cycle and
- 500 metre swim.
The idea is to beat your personal best.
To sponsor this event please go to: http://www.lifeafterinjury.com.au/
I will be substituting the 5km run for a 5km walk - however, the fact that I feel I could even complete this triathlon, is testament enough to my recovery.
Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre (MSAC) are hosting the event and the usual $20 casual entrance fee will go to the charity. Rod has volunteered to help with the organisation on the day and it is open to everyone to participate. Thanks to Gerard (aka Kiwi) for the flyer design - I owe him a warm pint when I am back in London.
So please, don't be shy - put those Great British Pounds, Euro, Swiss Francs, Dirhams and not forgetting the great Aussie Dollar to good use. You will have the option to print out a tax receipt through the website. Geez you can even follow us on the day : www.twitter.com/lifeafterinjury
