Iron Ali raises nearly £2,500

August 2006

During August most people are enjoying sun, sea and chilled beers. But not our Ali.

On the 19th August, Chipping Norton’s ‘Triathlon Man’: swam 2.4 miles, cycled 112 miles and finished off with a 26.2 mile run. And yes, all in one day. Nutter.

We’re all proud to say he did it. Thanks to months of preparation Ali didn’t stagger across the line as a blistered tired old wreck. He actually did rather well. Over 1,100 athletes started the race and Ali finished inside the top 130. An incredible result.

And thanks to the support from clients, colleagues, friends and family, he raised £2,400 for the Alder Hey Imagine Appeal. Your sponsorship will help the hospital research medical conditions, buy vital equipment, and provide dedicated facilities for children and their families.
