- Why Am I Doing This?
The main reason I'm attempting this challenge is to raise additional funds for a fantastic charity. I aim to raise enough money to change the lives of several Canadian children and their families. I am so happy that I am able to run, swim, bike, talk and do all the things you expect your body to be able to do. I just really want to push myself to ensure children and their families can share the quality of life that so many of us take for granted on a daily basis.
- Your Help Is Needed
100% of all donations received will be given directly to The Children's Wish Foundation upon completion of this Ultra Iron Man. You can send a cheque donation (made payable to Andy Collin) to our offices stating it's a donation for the 'Children's Wish Ultra Iron Man Event' or you can conveniently and securely donate to the cause online using the 'Donate' button on the Home page. All donations are very gratefully received, so thank you so much! Help me to help the Children's Wish Foundation.
- Personal Support
I have already had a lot of help from so many generous people. The Cyclepath, Peak Power Sport Development and Giant Bicycle, to name a few, have been amazing supporters. - Support Vehicles
I am still in need of a few more items for the event. It's essential that I have a support vehicle beside me while running and biking, not only to provide encouragement, but to give a little protection along the Trans-Canada Highway and have food and drink close to hand. I need a van that will be able to store all my equipment while not being used. I also need it to have enough space so both myself and my wife will be able to sleep. An RV would be perfect!
I'll also be needing support for the swimming part of this challenge. If anyone is able to provide the use of a support boat for September 1st, I would be so thankful. The more people / boats there are, the safer it will be for me. - Nutrition
Of course I would not be able to complete this challenge without the correct nutrition. I will need a lot of energy drinks, power bars and food. If you are able to donate any of these things I would greatly appreciate your help.
Please feel free to contact me at any time if you think you are able to support me in any way.
