Story
Superheroes Series is the UK's one and only disability sports series for the Everyday Superhero! The mission is simple: to create fun, full-throttle, mass-participation sports events where people with disabilities – AKA Everyday Superheroes – call the shots & don’t have to worry about cut-off times or equipment restrictions. Everyone can do it - all they ask is that at least one team member considers themselves to have a disability of any kind.
My nephew Laird and I both have disabilities so we have signed up for this "fun and flexible four-week mission" - (although I will tell you in March if it has been fun!).
We have 4 weeks to complete a 750m swim, cycle 20km and walk/run 5km. We will be doing it with our exercise bikes, treadmill and then a few trips to the local swimming pool.
This will be a huge effort for me as I am not in "tip top shape" shall we say? I am turning 50 in March and am using this as a springboard to trying get a bit fitter at fifty!
We will be doing this fundraiser in aid of Disability Snowsport UK (DSUK) who I am currently working for. DSUK have over 40 year's experience teaching adaptive Snowsports, with a vision of removing barriers through skiing & snowboarding. They believe that everyone has the right to access the unique physical, mental & social benefits of Snowsport, regardless of disability, injury, or experience.
Please donate what you can - we know times are tough, and every donations makes a difference - no matter how big or small it is.
Love Sharryn & Laird
PS Laird is 13 and this will be a piece of cake for him.......
