Bennett finds sea legs

Optician editor Chris Bennett will take part in the Brighton Marina Triathlon this weekend (September 30) after wild weather forced the cancellation of the Sussex Original Triathlon.

Bennett has now raised £1,650 for Blind Veterans UK thanks to donations from Marchon, Hoya, Specsavers, Martin Smith Opticians, Optix, Haine & Smith, Rodenstock, AEL Markhams, Nikon, Louis Stone and Greepers.

He has also had help with kit from Aqua Sphere, Greepers and will race in a Nike Hyperforce frame. You can still donate through Bennett’s Justgiving page which can be found at www.justgiving.com/fundraising/opticianeditor.
