Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Some family members and I will be taking part in a Triathlon organised by me, at our local gym. The event is being run over two days on the 30th and 31st January 2010 and consists of:
Swimming 40 lengths of the swimming pool
20 km bike ride
10 km run
We are raising money for the Help for Heroes charity. This charity contributes greatly to the rehab centres, specifically Headley Court (http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Militarymedicine/Pages/HeadleyCourt.aspx), throughout the UK.
This is particularly relevant at the current time as our brother-in-law, SGT Simon Harmer, was seriously wounded whilst servicing in Afghanistan at the end of October '09. The injuries Simon sustained are of a life changing nature, but with the combination of Simon's determination and the care and dedication of Headley Court he will undoubtedly embark upon a successful period of rehabilitation.
A number of fellow gym members will be taking part in this event and the Isenhurst gym will also very kindly be donating a portion of the gym members monthly subscriptions to the charity.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now.
Kind regards
Neil, Gemma & Rich
