Optician editor set for fundraising triathlon

Optician editor, Chris Bennett, is redoubling his efforts this year to raise money in the Optician summer charity challenge for Blind Veterans UK.

During the month of July Bennett will first take part in the Fambridge Half Iron Triathlon which consists of a 1.9km run, a 90km cycle and an 18km off road run. Later on in the month he will also take part in the Prudential Ride London, a 100-mile road cycle starting at London’s Olympic Park stretching out into the Surrey hills before returning to the capital to finish on the Mall.

This will be the tenth year Bennett has donned lyrca to raise money for Optician’s charity partner which once again is Blind Veterans UK. If you would like to make a donation and follow Bennett’s training journey go to www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Chris-Bennett15.
