Luke Doran
LOWA Fundraiser: Lifting Weights for Special Hearts
Fundraising for The Brompton Fountain
Story
London Olympic Weightlifting Academy (LOWA) Coach Luke Doran's son Nino was born with Transposition of the Great Arteries, a rare congenital heart defect. Thanks to the incredible team at The Royal Brompton Hospital and charity The Brompton Fountain, Nino is now a healthy, happy baby.
Luke, his wife Kate and the LOWA team are running a fundraiser at LOWA to support this fantastic cause and to help change the future for hundreds of other children like Nino. The day will consist of:
The LOWA Power Weightlifting Competition
This will be a fun power-focused weightlifting competition spread across three events:
- Clean and thruster
- Snatch from Hang
- Front squat from the hole
Weigh-In will be at 10am and the first event will start at 1030am. Competitors will be tasked with setting a 1RM in each event. Results will be based on Sinclair & Malone points. There will be a male and female winner for each individual event and overall male & female winners for most weight lifted across all three events.
Bake Sale
Pink protein smoothies, heart-shaped baked treats and more on sale from food blogger and author The Little Loaf (aka Kate - Nino's mummy).
Raffle
- Personal training session with a LOWA coach
