Simon (11) and I (his mum) have decided to complete ten varied challenges over the coming year to mark the ten year anniversary of his diagnosis as coeliac. We are raising money for Coeliac UK who have given us so much support, particularly in those first months and years after diagnosis. Now we are particularly keen to support their research work to better understand Coeliac disease in order to better diagnose and manage the condition for others in the future.

So far we have got 5 challenges each (to make the total of 10).We chose a few ourselves and have been set some. If you want to set us another challenge, please let us know! 

Some are firmer than others but we will be updating throughout the year. Here's what we've got so far...

Rachel:

- Complete a ten mile run event before my next birthday (set by Simon) DONE 29-7-18 (half marathon)

- Complete a two mile open water swim event

- Complete an Olympic distance triathlon event

- Some sort of cycling event - no firm plans yet!

- Compete in the trick ladder event at the UK National Yo-Yo Contest 2018 (set by Daniel) DONE 9-6-18

Simon:

- Complete a(nother) junior triathlon event DONE 8-7-18

- Independently cook an entirely gluten free meal for the family (set by Rachel)

- Complete Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 on PS1 (very retro!) with a single character (I'm told this is indeed challenging!)

- Get three or more wins in one session of Yu-Gi-Oh club (I can vouch for the fact that this is challenging!)

- One more challenge to be set...

We'll keep updating this page and our facebook page to let you know how we're doing. Please do support us - it's going to be a busy year!
