Nick, David and Hugh are going for it.  The new year's resolution is to loose a pound or two and develop our collective stamina in order to complete the knee jarring 5.7km run, chilli 750m swim, and thigh burning 19.8km bike. The pressure will be on, not only do we have to elbow past the other participants, but there will also a number of crack Cordwainer teams hot on our heels. 

We are supporting two charities that make a real and lasting difference to people’s lives, especially children and young adults. So we do hope you can give what you can to help us reach our target. They are Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research, the event’s charity for the year and LCF 125, the Worshipful Company of Cordwainers, charity for the year. Thank you.

Many families have knowingly or unknowing been supported by the incredible work resulting from L&L Research. It is a very touching organisation that has a profound impact on medical advances to help save and treat lives and carry families through the coping process of a difficult condition. 

Meanwhile, the Cordwainers, traditionally makers of shoes themselves, provide essential bursary’s to help fund the training, education and apprenticeship of talented young designers at the London College of Fashion, who would not have otherwise had the opportunity to attend.

Funds are being collected centrally at Minge Gift (a noble Cordwainer benefactor from the 17th Century with an unusual surname) with contributions from the other Cordwainer teams. They will then be split equally between the two charities upon completion of the Triathlon.
