Robin Gurney plans to raise £2,500 for a hospital unit he credits with saving his daughter's life
A police officer is to do a 36-hour triathlon to raise funds for an NHS trust he credits with saving his daughter's life.
"It is a 12-hour swim into a 12-hour cycle into a 12-hour run," Mr Gurney said of the challenge. "It's going to be absolutely gruelling but completely worth it. "However, she is a fighter and her strength... along with everything the City Hospital NICU team did, kept her alive. Mr Gurney plans to complete his 18-mile swim in the pool at the University of Nottingham before running 52.4 miles around Wollaton Park and Attenborough Nature Reserve and cycling 160 miles in circuits to Wymeswold in Leicestershire."The force has been really supportive," he said.
