Ironman in Venice

Hi folks, I have suffered from Lupus for more than 20 years and unfortunately my loving wife Mhairi has suffered along with me.

She has been seriously training for the last 5 months for an Ironman event, Challenge Venice on the 5th June 2016, this consists of a 2.4 mile swim followed by a 112 mile swim and finished off with a marathon.

She has arranged a Just Giving site to benefit Lupus UK and would love to raise lots of cash, the address for donations is

justgiving.com/Mhairi-O-Neil1

Any contribution however small would be hugely appreciated for this huge challenge.
