After a 12 hour operation to remove a benign (not cancerous) tumour the size of a tennis ball on Dec 14 2007 and 6 weeks of preventative radiotherapy, David Bond a.k.a Bondy is competing in the Monaco Ironman for Charity. Although competing for charity, Bondy is not just there to make up the numbers. All systems are go on the training front, and radiotherapy has not slowed him at all.
