Nsure - MD planning to run 'Outlaw Triathalon' 12/01/2012


Phil Bristow, Business Managing Director of Worthing based business; Nsure will be taking part in The Outlaw Triathlon.


The race is on Sunday 1 July 2012 at Nottingham Holme Pierrepoint National Watersports Centre over the distance of a 2.4 mile (3900 metre) open water swim, 112 mile (180 Km) bike ride and a 26.2 mile (42 km) marathon distance run.

 

The target time will be to complete the race in less than 12 hours, however, Phil reserves the right to change this as his training progresses!
 

Phil is aiming to raise a total of £5000 for dizzy : support 4 diabetes and Worthing Town FC Palatine Project. Phil has decided that whilst football is extremely important, despite the famous words of the ex Liverpool Manager Bill Shankly, it is not more important than life and death and any money donated will be split two thirds to Dizzy and one third to the Worthing Town Palatine Project.

 
Please support Phil to achieve this grand target and please donate now.

 

You can donate via PayPal – Just click the link below.


By Cheque - please make payable to dizzy : support for diabetes and send to me at Nsure, 93 Rowlands Road, Worthing, BN11 3JX.


Phil is also offering local businesses the chance to advertise on the fund raising website. Raise the profile of your business and at the same time support a fantastic cause. Get in contact with Phil for details - phil.bristow@nsure.co.uk
