Triathlon is a family affair for Mike

Fundraising for a good cause has become a family affair for Llangollen’s Edwards clan.



For when dad Mike tackles the Chirk Triathlon this Sunday he’ll be doing it alongside his eldest son, Christian, 43, and his 30-year-old eldest daughter, Claire.



Mike is raising money for the Wales Air Ambulance, which is a cause close to his heart.



Following a heart attack five years ago he regained his fitness and took up the triathlon event. 



“I am a keen supporter of  the air ambulance, being well aware of the value of a speedy response in my sport,” he said.



Mike is also a long-term cyclist, regularly hitting the mountain bike trails at Coed Llandegla  and pounding the roads in the Wrexham and Llangollen areas. 



Sunday’s Chirk Triathlon starts and finishes at Chirk Leisure Centre where Mike has been  training for the big event. To sponsor him, go to his Virgin Money Just Giving page at:
