This page is dedicated to the team on helpers that have made it all possible.  Participating in an Ironman Event for the first time is not a cheap exercise and would not be possible without the support of sponsors and the understanding of the team supporters.

 

There's a whole team looking after "Lardman" making sure he can reach his goal (listed below).  More importantly there are friends and family, whom without their help would not make it all possible, including work colleagues who have been working that little bit harder so that he doesn't have to work as hard. 

 

Special thanks to all the people who have trained with "Lardman" and offered him support and advice.  Contrary to popular belief this is a team sport.
