Hi,
My name is Josh. I am a husband, dad, paramedic and an average athlete. I've decided to do some sporting events over the next couple of months to try and raise some much needed funds for the the Leukemia Foundation. I will be participating in four events, each of them will test me in different ways, but not as much as people that have to deal with the news they have Leukemia. These events are:
Beach to Brother Marathon (NSW mid North Coast, September 2017),
Sri Chinmoy Triple Triathlon (Canberra, November 2017),
Xterra Off Road Triathlon (NSW South Coast, December 2017) and
Full Ironman (Port Macquarie, May 2018)
I know that there will be tears and frustration in training and trying to complete these events, but it will be so worth it if we can raise some money so the Leukemia Foundation can continue their vital work.
I'm honoured to be helped along by my brother, Jake Smyth, owner of Mary's Newtown, let's hear what he has to say..
"We believe charity begins at home... which is why we are supporting our brother Josh in his insane endeavour to run a fuck-load, swim too much and ride a bike for jollies. The details of his races can be found in his Bio. (One of them is a triple fucking triathlon, which is as stupid as it is brave IOHO)
His aim, to raise dollars for the Leukemia Foundation is supported by Mary’s, who are kitting him out in some stylish Spandex, paying for his travel and entrance fees, as well as being there to cheer him on like buggery to the finish line.
We hope that you can get behind him too and throw some sorely needed $$ to this cause" Jake Smyth
Sponsor me and you’ll help me achieve so much!
Each day, 34 Australians will get the news they have blood cancer. That's another 34 reasons to support the Leukaemia Foundation's work – providing practical and emotional support to people facing the challenge of blood cancer, as well as investing in vital research to find better treatments and cures. Across Australia, 60,000 people are going through this in right now - please sponsor me and help me reach my goal of $5000 for this vital charity.
