Story
I am competing in my first ever Triathlon on the 24th of September 2017 in East Leake, Leicestershire and I will be fundraising to help complete The State of The Solar System community project in Bellingham, Washington, USA. The project is a 1 and a half mile walk through the town which guides you through all the planets in our solar system. I am completing this in memory of Jamus Todd-Stone, who I met whilst volunteering at The New Life Foundation in Thailand. Sadly, during an amazing week travelling together through Laos, on the 1st June 2017, he passed away after a long battle with drug addicton. Jamus was an amazing and selfless guy with a brilliant sense of humour who made such a positive impact on everyone he met, including me. He was also a very talented glass blower and some of his last pieces of artwork can be found in The State of the Solar System in the form of beautiful glass marble planets. I am fundraising for this cause to ensure that a piece of Jamus's legacy is completed and maintained to allow his loved ones to enjoy for many years to come, as well as reminding us of the important place we have in this magnificent universe we call home.
You can find more information on Jamus and the project in the links below. Thanks 🙂
