Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My husband Les loved EVERY type of sport. He believed keeping active was the best way to live a happy, fit and healthy life. He told the story many times how as a young boy, he and his 5 brothers were encouraged by their father to take part in whichever sport most appealed to them to keep them all out of mischief. 

Les didn’t believe in doing things by half so as a school-boy excelled at cricket and football, playing the latter to a semi-professional level until forced to give up through injury. He later discovered golf which then became a huge passion in his life. Running in marathons later led to competing in Triathlons and ultimately his greatest achievement ....completing an Ironman Triathlon whilst already in his 50’s. 

Les agreed with his father’s thought that sport should be available to all kids. He would be so happy to know that now in a small way, he is still helping children gain access to sport that might not otherwise be possible.
