Some will be doing the Sprint distances (750m swim, 20kmbike ride, 5km run) and some will take on the challenge of the Olympic distances (1500m swim, 40km bike ride, 10km run) but all will be winners on the day by undertaking this 3 leg sporting event in order to raise money for Kingsley Napley’s two sponsoredcharities Papyrus (https://www.papyrus-uk.org/) and CARAS (https://caras.org.uk/) along with St Raphael’s Hospice who cared for our colleague and friend Conor Boyd (https://www.straphaels.org.uk/).

Papyrus is a charity dedicated to the prevention of suicide and the promotion of positive mental health and emotional wellbeing in young people and CARAS is a community outreach charity based in Tooting, supporting people of refugee and asylum-seeking backgrounds living in London. After moving into St Raphael’s Hospice in March 2023, the staff cared for and provided support to Conor and his family throughout his time there.
