Heritage Alumnus to Complete Half Ironman in Memory of a Friend
On 15th May, Heritage alumnus Maxwell Buchanan will be competing in his first half Ironman triathlon in memory of his friend David Juckes. Maxwell writes, ‘From the moment I joined Cambridge Triathlon Club back into 2017 David was a friendly face. He was always smiley and chatty and happy to help anyone who needed it. Sadly in October 2021 David passed away due to Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma (PCTL-NOS). It’s a rare form of lymphoma that is almost unheard of in young people. I will be doing Outlaw Half Nottingham (my first half Ironman distance triathlon) on May 15th in memory of David. In doing so I’d like to raise money for Children’s Cancer and Leukaemia Group (CCLG), who fund key research into rare T-Cell lymphomas.’ Maxwell, currently a student at Hills Road Sixth Form College, is a Heritage Class of 2021 Leaver.
