My lunatic brother

Who I am also proud as hell of.

My brother Tom has been looking for a way to get in shape.  I figured he'd go to the gym, or maybe join a martial arts studio.  Him?  No.  He's going to do a Half Ironman Triathlon.  Tom doesn't do things small, obviously :)

In his quest to get back in shape, he came across a website that trains teams for these things.  Please PLEASE go and donate whatever you can to his cause, it's for LLS - Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and I think it's fabulous that not only is he helping himself, but he's helping out people who really need it.  He's doing what some people can't so that someday they might be able to have a decent life.

Go and take a look at Tom's Training Page
