On Saturday 2nd September I will be taking on the challenge of Triple Marathon using the Concept2 Ski Erg, Rower and Bike Erg
.
Every year I try and take on some form of physical challenge to raise money for charity and give myself a goal for the year. Last year was a tough year with lots of personal challenges which did not allow me any time or energy to take on a yearly charity challenge. But 2023, the annual challenge is set!
.
I will aim to complete a marathon distance on the Ski Erg, moving on to the marathon distance on the rower, then hopefully completing the challenge with a marathon distance on the Bike. The goal is to complete all 3 marathons, back to back, in under 12 hours, all whilst raising money for Alzheimer’s Society and Asthma + Lung UK Charity
.
We lost my Gran, Sybil, to Alzheimer’s in 2014 and recently, on 9th April, we lost my Uncle Steve (my Dad’s brother) to Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA) a rare and particularly cruel form of Alzheimer’s. In February 2020, Martina’s sister Sheridan, passed away from an underlying genetic respiratory disorder. The goal for the challenge is to raise £2,000 to be split between the 2 charities in memory of Sybil, Steve and Shez
.
The day will be hosted by Legion CrossFit, Maidenhead where everyone is invited to come along throughout the day to support whilst we hopefully raise lots of money for 2 amazing charities in memory of 3 amazing people. If anyone fancies joining me and signing up to keep me company for a few km along the way then please let me know as there will be a couple of spare bits of kit and I am hoping to get people to ski, row and bike alongside me throughout the duration. The day will be topped off with a BBQ and a few well-earned beersConcept2 Triple Marathon
