<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.&nbsp; During the year running up to the Olympics myself and four other colleagues from Sony will be taking part in up to five different sports.&nbsp; We are raising money for a local charity, The Shooting Star Chase Children's&nbsp;Hospice.&nbsp;They provide support for families with children who are unlikely to reach their 19th birthday.&nbsp;</p> <p>As a parent the thought of having a sick child who is unlikely to see their 19th birthday is unthinkable.&nbsp;This charity provides support to over 500 children, teenagers and their families via two amazing hospices, one in Hampton and the other in Guildford,&nbsp;along with many other services such as short notice care for families in crisis, bereavement support,&nbsp;and family therapy.</p> <p>I hope you agree this is a very worthy cause, if you would like any further information&nbsp;please visit the below weblink:</p> <p><a href="http://www.shootingstarchase.org.uk/">http://www.shootingstarchase.org.uk/</a></p> <p>The sports and challenges I'm&nbsp;taking on are:</p> <p>- Learning and completing a 10 bounce routine on a trampoline.&nbsp;</p> <p>- 50 basketball lay ups in 5 mintue, (please note, I wasn't ever in the netball team because I was so bad, and if you ask my husband I throw like a girl!)</p> <p>- Complete a 4k kayak on the River Wey in late October in a Canadian Canoe (this is likely to take us 3-4 hours, but don't worry we have built a pub stop in to the plan :-)</p> <p>- 5k time trial at Bushy Park (have you see the level of fitness of us all the photo!)</p> <p>Further information on the Gold Challenge can be found by visiting the below website.</p> <p><a href="http://www.goldchallenge.org.uk/">http://www.goldchallenge.org.uk/</a></p> <p>Many thanks for your time and I hope you can help support me with this challenge.</p> <p>Hazel x</p>
