Fundraising Story – Colin
In 2011 Colin raised £1600 for Deki taking part in the London Triathlon. The Olympic distance event saw him complete a 1.5 km swim in the Royal Victoria dock followed by a 40km bike ride and a 10K run.
“When I started training back in September I hadn’t been swimming in years, ridden a bike over 20km or ever run 10 km!” said Colin.
“I have chosen DEKI to be my charity because I really like the concept of helping people to help themselves in a sustainable way. I will be able to choose individuals and watch how the money helps them with their projects. As the money is given as a loan the money will keep being lent and repaid forever.”
Colin is training hard to complete another London Triathlon in 2012, raising more money for Deki.
Thank you Colin and good luck with the challenge!
