Story

Following Katie's tragic death on 12 June 2015, this site has been set up to raise money for the British Triathlon Foundation Trust. As a highly successful swimmer and triathlete Katie won numerous Age-Group races, took part in the elite British Triathlon Super Series, won an ITU World Age Group medal and last year she achieved a 3rd place medal at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships.  She had recently become a member of the Tri Training Harder Race Team and was recognised as one of the best swimmers in the sport.  Furthermore, Katie had been selected as one of four guides for visually impaired triathletes training for the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games and she often spoke of her great admiration for the British Para-Triathlon team.

We wish to keep Katie's talent, spirit and beauty alive by helping the next generation to embrace the sport she simply adored.  In this way Katie’s legacy will live on.

Any donations for British Triathlon Foundation Trust are greatly appreciated by all of Katie’s family. #Katie'sLegacy
