Lorn has been training to get fit and will participate in some other events before the main triathlon in August. Some of these include: 5k santathon in December and a 10k run in May 2009. Lorn is training up to six days a week and her training progress can be followed on lornpearson.spaces.live.com.Lorn has decided to raise money for Leukaemia CARE as she knows people who have lived with and been affected by this cancer and would like to think that she can help raise money through the exercise she does.
