Please take a minute to read this:
Last week we received a mail from our good friend Andy.
His mail caught our attention straight away as it was quickly obvious that it was not the typical catching up mail but one of a more serious nature.
Him and his wife had met a couple, Matt and Colette over in Grenoble where they recently moved to. A lovely
ordinary family with a baby called Joseph.
In his mail Andy told us how Joseph suffered from a condition known as Leukodystrophy.
Having read Matt and Colette’s blog I was touched and impressed by the determination and positive, pro active attitude they took on what I classify as the worst parent’s nightmare.
On July 13th in an effort to raise money for both the Myelin Project UK and the European Leukodystrophy Association Matt will be taking part in the hugely challenging triathlon-The Ironman Switzerland- 2008.
I had heard of biathlon and triathlon but I had never heard of The Ironman!
This triathlon consists of 3.8 km of swimming, 180km cycling and a 42.2 km run.
Read more on the reasons why Matt decided to take on this particular challenge here.
