Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
We are racing in the Olympic Distance relay race at the London Triathlon 2009 on 1st August in the Docklands, the world's biggest triathlon event (http://www.thelondontriathlon.co.uk/), to raise money for Willow. The relay is made up of:
1,500m swim - Nick
40km bike - Robin
10km run - Dave
Our aim is to (a) finish the race an (b) do it in a respectable time hopefully!
Please can you show your support for us by making a small contribution towards the Willow Foundation.
The Willow Foundation is the only charity of its kind providing special days for 16 to 40 year olds. Special days aim to provide young adults living with life-threatening conditions a chance to escape the pressures of their daily routine and share quality time with family and/or friends.
Every special day is of the young person's choosing - it could involve fulfilling a lifelong dream or it could simply offer an opportunity to bring some much needed normality back into their lives.
The Foundation will endeavour to fulfil the special day request however imaginative and, if possible, exceed expectations.
To date the charity has organised and funded special days for young adults living with a wide range of serious conditions including: cancer, motor neurone disease, cystic fibrosis, Huntingdon's, organ failure and multiple sclerosis (later stages).
So please dig deep and donate now.
