In the summer of 2021, Nathan completed his first ever triathlon at the age of 7, raising funds for the Air Ambulance Service. The joy and sense of accomplishment he felt during that experience ignited a passion within him. By 2022, he took on an even greater challenge, completing three triathlons in just three months. At, the age of 9, he set his sights even higher with an ambitious goal: to see how many junior triathlons he can complete in four hours! Now he's 10 and setting a bigger challenge: Family History Swim Bike Run:

This journey is about more than just personal achievement; it’s about honouring family history. In February 2025, he plans to visit a war grave in France belonging to a family member who served in World War I—a grave that has never been visited. To make this trip truly special, he has decided to incorporate a personal triathlon into the journey.

His mission begins with a run from St John’s (the old Royal Warwickshires museum) through the historic barracks of the Royal Warwickshires. He will run to the war memorial of his great-great-grandfather in Bidford on Avon and then return home again—a total distance of 35 miles (over 7 weeks)

Next comes the swim: he aims to swim the distance of the English Channel, possibly following the route taken by his great-great-grandfather on his way to France in June 1915—totalling an impressive 21 miles (over 7 weeks).

Finally, he will cycle from Calais through the battlefields of the Somme all the way to his great-great-grandfather's war grave—a journey spanning 100 miles(over 2 days).

This brave soldier, A.E. Harris, lost his life on July 31st, 1915

Throughout this incredible endeavor, he will once again be raising funds for both the Children’s Air Ambulance and local air ambulance services. The Air Ambulance Service plays a vital role in our communities by providing essential care without receiving government funding; they rely solely on voluntary donations and support from generous individuals like you.

With your help, we can ensure that these lifesaving services continue to operate effectively across Warwickshire & Northamptonshire and beyond. Our target is £400—every contribution counts and brings us closer to making this mission possible! Your support will help keep us flying.
