Chris's Triathlon for BASIK

Chris Normington is raising money for BASIK

Triathlon · 16 August 2026

Your support will mean children in extreme poverty in Kenya will receive a full education and be able to decide their own future. We work with schools to provide all the resources needed to end the cycle of poverty through education.

Story

Reasons to give:

1. Point 5 - it will help a kids get through school and Uni who otherwise would've left school at an early age (happy to give a 1-1 impassioned speech to you if required).

2. I've not done any meaningful exercise since 2019 (pre kids). I'll be swimming, cycling and running.

3. I've been running (which I already dislike) at 6am some days to fit in the training before work and kid duties.

4. It will make you feel good.

5. Through people's support for BASIK (family charity started 20 years ago) we provide buildings, equipment, fees to get kids to school and university and anything else education related.

We're partnered with the Tsavo East Community Development Initiative and have a joint vision to get 100 children through University by 2030 from the Kasaala region. There were no graduates from the region before our partnership began. We're currently on 28 graduates, with more students starting University every year now as we have supported them through school.

We give every penny covering any overheads as a family.
