Bristol Barracuda Liftathon 2011-12 · 9 December 2011

The Youth Sport Trust is a charity devoted to building a brighter future for young people through sport - improving health & well-being, developing leadership skills & raising achievement. Over the last 20 years we have transformed the lives of millions of young people in the UK & across the world.

Story

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>On December 9th, members of the Bristol Barracuda will be pushing themselves to the physical limit by attempting to lift over 3million kilograms. This is equivalent to lifting over 15 Boeing 747 Jumbo Jets! In the liftathon last year the team managed 2,000,000kgs and the year before that 530,000kgs , a considerable amount by any standard, but a record they hope to surpass this year.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>All the money raised by completing this challenge will go towards the 'Youth Sports Trust', a charity that attempts to build a brighter future for young people through sport and PE. Such work is more invaluable today than ever before, given the current issues regarding childhood obesity and the future health implication this can cause, not to mention the social benefits that organised sporting programs can provide for children.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>No contribution is too small! Thanks for visiting our page!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
