Tri-Life are a charity dedicated to raising funds for Cancer research UK.
After the loss of his Step-Father to a swift and ultimately fatal battle with Cancer, Jamie Mills decided that he wanted to do ‘something’ to try and convert the negative energy that every loss leaves behind, into something positive. It started off as a decision to run the London Marathon in order to raise money for Cancer Research UK and St Wilfrid’s Hospice in Chichester, Sussex. Wanting to do more, the London to Paris bike ride became the second event entered into the diary for 2013. To complete the fundraising treble the decision was made to summit the highest free standing mountain in the world, Kilimanjaro.
Confirming his belief that people inherently want to do good and after a number of conversations it came to light that a number of friends and colleagues were keen to take part in one, two or all three of the fundraising challenges taking part in 2013. From small acorns grow large oak trees; from one man's desire to do good has grown Tri-Life. The ultimate fundraising Triathlon taking place in 2013.
The cure for Cancer would undoubtedly be one of the greatest human achievements the world has ever seen. As individuals achieving such a cure seems insurmountable, if we all adopt that way of thinking, then it probably is. Tri-Life is a collection of people who believe that we can, collaboratively with the great work from the likes of Cancer Research UK, ‘Speed The Cure’.
