Hello… my name is Kris Capperauld and I would be grateful if you could spare the time to read this and help me to achieve my dream of representing Great Britain at the European Age Group Triathlon 2018 and the World Age Group Triathlon 2019.

By way of introduction, I live in Selby and have the passion and ability to compete in the sport of Triathlon. I currently compete in Age Group Triathlons and have done so for the last 9 years. I train up to 17 hrs per week over the three different sports; swimming, cycling and running and juggle this alongside being a husband, father of two and a full-time job within Selby District Council.

I have managed to qualify to represent Great Britain at the World Age Group Championships but unfortunately because I have to fund all the expenses myself and as Age Group triathletes receive no funding from British Triathlon I didn’t compete because I could not afford to and had to let the opportunity pass me by. I am sure you can understand that when you train so hard it is really frustrating not to be able to compete. This is a goal I am determined to achieve again and I hope that you can help me with this.

Some of the things that your donation would help out with include: kit upgrades, travel & accommodation, race entry fees and insurance.

Many Thanks

Kris
