Triathlon races are very popular now and all sorts of people are taking part. Not many people are brave, or fit, enough to take on the 70.3 miles that make up a half iron man though. That's a 1.2 mile open water swim to start with, then a 56 mile bike ride followed by a 13.1 mile run!
We’d like to say huge congratulations to Andy on completing the challenge, and thank him for all the hard work and training he put in. We would also like to thank all the people who sponsored Andy, he has raised nearly £800 in sponsorship so far. Our thanks go to all of these individuals for choosing to support families affected by childhood brain injury.
If you would like show your support to Andy and the Child Brain Injury Trust you can visit his Just Giving page.
Andy’s challenge took place at the Cotswold Water Park near Cirencester in Gloucestershire. Entering the chilly lake water at 6.50am, Andy spent the next few hours swimming, cycling and running before crossing the finish line just after lunch.
Our Community Fundraiser, Andrew Tee, was lucky enough to go along and cheer Andy on during the run stage of the race; "it was a truly inspirational event. There were people of all abilities taking part, and an enthusiastic crowd cheered every last one of them across the line."
Andy Caudell joined the Child Brain Injury Trust as a Trustee in 2012, and since then he has been an active supporter, and continues to lead by example.
“I feel duty-bound, as a proud Trustee of this wonderful organisation, to do anything that I can that raises funds and highlights the very important role the Child Brain Injury Trust can play in easing the challenges ahead for those families we support.”
Andy’s fundraising is an exciting way to support the charity and continue to raise awareness in the future. Please help us to spread the word and visit our website for more information on our services and forthcoming events.
