My story

We all want to do something amazing and unforgettable on our 40th birthday..... So I’ve come up with brilliant and very crazy idea! Luckily I’ve managed (again) to convince Simon Vincent to participate but I’m not really sure he knows what he’s said yes to!!!

 

Hadrian’s Wall is 84 miles long and was the most heavily fortified border in the Roman Empire. It runs from the North Sea to the Irish Sea and we will be running it for charity. The plan is for me to start at the North Sea end of Hadrian’s Wall and Simon will start on the Irish Sea end of Hadrian’s Wall. We will then each race the 42 miles to the middle point of the wall. The last man there has to buy the first round of drinks (and an oxygen tank!).  

 

If anyone feels like helping us out, running all or part of the way or just motivating us with your good wishes and money please leave your comments below.

 

Naturally we will be putting our aging bodies on the line for Galvin’s Chance – the Foundation’s into-work initiative that we have been championing for the last few years. With these tough economic times and a record number of young people unemployed its imperative that as employers we give everyone the tools and best chance possible to have a career. Galvin’s Chance has gone from strength to strength and I’m constantly inspired by the young people who undertake the programme. Their potential is incredible if only we give them the help and support. However we need to raise more to enable another cohort of students to have this chance.

 

The date of the run is to be confirmed but it will probably be around the beginning of July when the sun will no doubt be shining on our crazy adventure!

 

If you want to race too and be part of either Simon’s team or mine just email me on fred.sirieix@hilton.com

 

Thanks for your support.

 

Fred & Simon
