Well done to Directorbank’s George Heppenstall for completing ‘IRONMAN 70.3 NICE, FRANCE’ last weekend in support of Macmillan Cancer Support, our chosen charity for the year.
Whilst many of us were sipping coffee and perusing the Sunday papers, George was setting out on a gruelling course, the final element of a tough 6-month training regime.
George began with a running beach start – think David Hasselhoff in Baywatch! – and a 1.9km swim in the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea. This was followed by a 90km bike course through villages and mountains with some aggressive climbing. The final section was a 21km run including a flat and fast course along the Promenade des Anglais. He completed the event in just over 7 hours. A very impressive achievement!
If anyone in our network is feeling generous and wishes to give George some well-deserved sponsorship towards Macmillan Cancer Support, please visit his JustGiving page.
Any contributions would be greatly appreciated. As many of you will know, Macmillan provides specialist health care, information and financial support to those affected by cancer. A number of Directorbank colleagues have been directly affected by cancer in recent years and have found Macmillan to be a vital support.
