Longest, Steepest, Highest Quadrathon · 30 August 2019
At the end of August, our colleague Sam, and a team of amazing friends will take part in the 'Where there's a Will there's a way - Longest, Steepest, Highest Quadrathlon' over 2 days to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy UK.
In June 2014, Sam's son, Will Taylor was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a severe muscle wasting condition for which there is no treatment or cure. Will is now 9 years old, and the condition is impacting on his mobility and his life. In a bid to help in finding an effective treatment for Will, his Mum and Dad, Sue and Sam, have set up this unique Challenge - the Longest Steepest Highest Quadrathlon.
The challenge itself:
We will all Swim 1 mile and then Kayak 12 miles in Windermere; the
longest Lake in England. Immediately afterwards we will cycle from Waterhead to Wasdale Head, riding over Wrynose Pass and then Hardnott Pass; the Steepest Road in England with a gradient up to 33%.
After an overnight stay, we then finish by running 13 miles over Scafell Pike; the Highest Mountain in England at 978 metres.
