Mark's bloody long day

This September, Mark Pacey has once again has set himself the challenge to endure a 24-hour continuous ultra triathlon to raise money for childhood cancer research - and he wants you to join him!

It's the second time Mark has put himself through the gruelling challenge. Last year he swam for three hours, and then alternated between cycling and running for the next 21 hours in a bid to raise vital funds for kids cancer research. 

The dad of two has aptly dubbed the event, “The Bloody Long Day”. But the moniker has another deeper meaning that comes from personal experience; his youngest son Cooper was diagnosed with cancer at just seven years of age on 9 September 2010.
