Georgie & Anna's fundraiser for Plastic Free North Devon

Georgie Russell is raising money for Earth Action North Devon

Team: Anna & Georgie's fundraising for Plastic Free North Devon

Croyde Ocean Triathlon · 6 July 2025

PFND (renaming as Earth Action North Devon) is a local charity on a mission to protect and improve our environment through community led action. We aim to connect people with their natural surroundings through conversations, education and events to protect what our very existence depends on.

Story

Only 5 weeks to go until Georgie and Anna do their first ever triathlon!

We could have done a sprint triathlon (and perhaps SHOULD have done for our first, but no, we went all in and have signed up for the Olympic distance) - any funds towards our £200 goal each would really help us to keep swimming, pedaling and plodding!

1.5km swim in the ocean

37km (22miles) bike ride with 2185 ft elevation

12km trail run with 918 ft elevation

We have been braving the sea since March and risking our street cred with some serious neoprene fashion (see photos). Georgie has confronted her clipping in fears head-on, but mostly horizontally, after falling off, usually stationary. Needless to say, it's a big old challenge for both of us and we would really appreciate any donations you can spare.

We're fundraising for Plastic Free North Devon (soon to be called Earth Action North Devon) who are based at Croyde beach. If you have ever enjoyed going to the beach or walking the coastal path then it just makes sense to support Plastic Free North Devon who campaign and educate to keep Croyde and local nature as stunning as it is.

Funds will go towards:

Beach Cleans

Repair Cafes

Fast Fashion Workshops

Local Campaigning

Ocean Explorer Education
