Ironman Frankfurt

Fundraising for Fine & Country Foundation

Story

Sean Newman, Tyler Newman, Dave Phillips, Andy Sargeant, Mark Tobin and Iain Tobin and are taking part in the Frankfurt Ironman on 3rd July 2016

An Ironman involves swimming 3.8km (2.4 miles), cycling 180km (120 miles) and running 42km (26.2 mile marathon). It will probably take about 15 hours to complete the course.

This is a massive challenge and will involve a tough training regime.

Everyone deserves somewhere to call home, so if you are fortunate to have a roof over your head tonight, please spare a thought for those who are sleeping rough.

Every penny raised will go towards helping the homeless (we are paying all our own expenses). The money will go to Hope4 a homeless charity http://www.hope4.org.uk/

Thank you for your support.

The Fine & Country Foundation has been created to help combat one of the largest social issues in the UK – homelessness. Last year, the Government estimated around 2,414 people sleep on the street on any one night across England, a rise of 36% over three years. Often the reasons for homelessness are misunderstood, with many blaming the individuals for poor life decisions and carelessness. The reality is: people become homeless for a whole range of complex and overlapping reasons that cannot be avoided, such as family breakdowns, mental or physical health problems or debts. Solving homelessness does not only involve putting a roof over people’s heads, it is also trying to tackle the root of the problem and asking the question: why did they became homeless in the first place? The Fine & Country Foundation is dedicated to bringing together all Fine & Country agents in over 300 locations worldwide to raise awareness of the causes of homelessness whilst supporting homeless charities.
