Fundraising for The Newman Holiday Trust
Story
We did it!!! Well 59 of us did it and Anand managed to break his collar bone!! ouch
Our first ever Helly Hansen Adventure Race - 10k run across country, 25k on the mountain bike, a bit of kayaking and some obstacle course bits and bobs at the end just to keep us interested - easy peasy - times varied from 2 1/2hrs to 4 1/2hrs
What will we remember - the cold, the snow, the freezing water in the Kayak's, the first 3k run ("oh it's going to be hard", "will I make it?", "will I beat the fat Dane?", "all the doubts"), the broken collar bone, the "Should have gone for a wee before I started", the mountain bike (I think we actually quite enjoyed that, even the steep bits)(maybe this comment does not apply to Anand!), the run to the Kayak ("I thought I was going to die") AND THAT WE DID IT!!!, oh yes and now - the PAIN!!
Huge thanks for coming onto our fundraising site.
We've selected a very special charity to support
THE NEWMAN TRUST
It's a wonderful charity whose volunteers take kids with special needs on week long residential activity holidays. Best way to show you what they do is to send you to their promotional video on You Tube (you'll have to copy the link and paste it into your browser)

BUT PLEASE remember to come back and sponsor us HERE ...
If you've not been on Justgiving before then it's by far the easiest way to support us - they take care of everything - it's safe & secure, they pay the money directly to the charity, they sort out Gift Aid etc ...
THANKS AGAIN
