Our Personal Message:
The training is hopefully nearly there and it is just now a case of remaining injury free till the 1st August!

I have wanted to raise money for an appropriate charity since my sister’s death just under two years ago, to do something in her name, for a cause that she would have loved. To this end, in January I signed up for the most demanding physical challenge that I could find. The rationale for the iron man was that I wanted to replicate and display the same characteristics that she showed in her desire to achieve at the highest levels of Eventing. It was her incredible motivation, her desire to train when everything pointed to taking it easy but most of all her desire to achieve as much as she possibly could that set her apart. This combination meant that she went from strength-to-strength and I am sure she would be competing at the highest levels today (she had been tipped for 2012 although she never mentioned this). In two weeks, a week before the two year anniversary of her death, Hugo, a friend from university, and I will be attempting to complete the UK iron man, in glamorous Bolton - swimming 3.8k, cycling 180k and running a marathon – the cut off time to complete this is 17 hours.

This excessive exercise is for a very small charity that provides horse riding for children and adults with physical and learning disabilities. This charity is staffed by volunteers, who selflessly enable huge enjoyment and benefits to those that would not otherwise be able to have access, or the opportunity, to a sport that gave such happiness to my sister. Having spent time with the charity I have been completely taken by the work they do and therefore want to raise as much money as possible. Whilst the charity benefits from a large number of volunteers it would benefit hugely from greater funding. The hope is to attempt to raise sufficient funds to buy a number of ponies for the charity and to contribute to their ongoing upkeep.

Any contribution would be greatly appreciated.

Huge thanks,

Hugh
