CMT STAR fundraising and my blog

May 27, 2010

Hi everyone,

It has been a while since I posted - my apologies. I get overwhelmed with

emails and fall behind on !

I just wanted to let you know that I have just launched a CMTA STAR

fundraiser aimed at raising awareness and also building connectivity amongst

people. I am on Twitter and use it a lot for triathlon training and fitness

motivation. Last month we did a random meet up at a pool and someone

commented that they wish we all had swim caps so we would recognise each

other. I took a hold of the idea and commissioned a graphic and am printing

twitter swim caps. I have offered all of these for free to anyone who wants

them, but have suggested that they make a donation to CMTA STAR if they are

so inclined.

You can see the swim cap graphic on my blog. www.myfitnessyear.com click on

the swimmer.

Also on my blog you can see my latest details of seeking paratriathlon

classification. The process has been extremely frustrating for me, so

instead of continuing to try to make it happen, I am refocusing my own

efforts just to get fit and stay strong. Para-classification will be

secondary for me - if it happens its great, for now I am just going to enjoy

being able to be fit and the way that I am pushing myself to be strong.

Oh - as an aside. I have also " met " another person with CMT who is aiming

to do an IRONMAN! That is 2.4 miles of swimming, 112 miles of cycling, and

26.2 miles of running! It is really inspiring to me!

Hope you are all well. As some of you remember, I am also seeking to do

CMT1A profiles of people on my blog on Wednesdays to help people to learn

more about CMT. I have had a few people get in touch via . If you are

interested in helping me with this please do let me know.

Best wishes and thanks so much for your continued support and interest!

Donna from London
