Piedra, Halshka, Niki Papadimitriou, Kate Meredith and Ellie Marsh have taken up the challenge to participate in this summer's IronMan 70.3 in Vichy, France. No matter how tough it has been, and how difficult it may be, we have deeply profited from the journey together - from getting our blood pumping and pushing our limits - and most of all, spending time outdoors and in nature training. Alex would be beyond proud of all of us, and we continue to be inspired by his endless enthusiasm and profound lust for life.

Most of all, Alex would have been incredibly pleased to have support for this race go to Chailey, a foundation he cared about passionately. Any, and all support is much appreciated! We send our love and thank you all from the bottom of our (probably tired) hearts.

Chailey Heritage Foundation is a pioneering charity dedicated to enriching the lives of young people with complex physical disabilities and health needs. Founded by Alex's great grandma, Dame Grace Kimmins, Its vision is simple and clear: "Every young person will be given every opportunity to make progress towards fulfillment". Your donation allows them to buy the highly specialist equipment these young people need to pursue their potential and access every possible opportunity for independence.
