128 miles...3 times...7 days.
That's right, 384 miles in 7 days, along the Leeds-
Liverpool canal using only our legs, two cycles
and a Kayak.
We (Jim Coupland and Steve Browitt) are two cardiac physiologists
who work in cardiology, Leeds General Infirmary (LGI). We want to
raise funds and awareness for charities we care a great deal about -
Take Heart and The LTHT Children’s Heart Surgery Fund. What better
way to do it than cycle 128 miles in a day, then Kayak 128 miles in 3
days, then run 128 miles... in 3 days...The ultimate 'triathlon'.
Please, Please, Please….
We are pushing ourselves to the limit, and have been in training
for over 6 months. If you are inspired, or in any way remotely
impressed by our challenge, please feel free to donate; every
penny counts. All proceeds go toward our chosen charities,
helping those who have been affected by all forms of heart
disease or complication.

I went down to see off Jim Coupland and Steve Browitt with their support team
on Sunday morning.
This was the second leg of their challenge having done the first on Saturday,
cycling from Liverpool to Leeds. This part was navigating the kyack through
to Liverpool by Wednesday then running back on Thursday - arriving in
Leeds on Friday evening.
Congratulations lads. You made me exhausted just thinking about what you
are doing. Everyone at Take Heart thanks you most sincerely for what you
are doing.
