Story

<p>Thanks for visiting our page.</p> <p>On May 20th 2012, We are taking part in the Eton Triathlon on 20th May in aid of L'Arche Kent.</p> <p>After the last triathlon nearly killed me, I swore never to do this again. &nbsp;However, then I came across L'Arche Kent, and Steve's desire to take part, combined with my desire to help L'Arche, made us sign up. &nbsp;What better cause to suffer for???</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>So we'll be doing the following:</p> <p>400m swim (sounds easy, but I can't do frontcrawl)</p> <p>20km bike (I hate hills)</p> <p>5km run (the less said the better)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>We're trying to raise at least &pound;500 which will help the community carry on doing the amazing work it already does in providing a safe and supportive environment for people with learning disabilities to live as equals with non-disabled people. &nbsp;Please dig deep and donate however much you can - even tiny amounts add up. &nbsp;The people of L'Arche Kent will be ever thankful, and the more money we get, the faster we will feel obliged to run!!</p> <p>L'Arche Kent offers a community where people&nbsp;with learning disabilities can live independently, within the supportive environment of a community made up of disabled and non-disabled people. &nbsp;In this community people not only find a home, but also somewhere where they are accepted for who they are, as they are. &nbsp;The community currently provides a home for over 80 people across Kent, and as you can imagine, is therefore costly to run! &nbsp;Your donation wil help them to provide a safe and supportive environment for a lot of people.</p> <p>To find out more about L'Arche Kent, visit: www.larchekent.og.uk. &nbsp;On that page you'll see several videos about the community, which will tell you more.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
