The Cause
One of the inspirational young people we support is Nathan, who’s dream is to get to the next Paralympics. Rob’s unique ‘52 Triathlons in 52 Weeks’ challenge came about because Nathan needs to raise around £20,000, to enable him to reach the next Paralympics as a wheelchair tennis player. He is a remarkable young man who has Cerebral Palsy and who until 18 months ago, was a successful wheelchair racer who the Starr Trust was supporting. During a world championship race, Nathan suffered an accident that meant he could no longer race. So rather than give up he switched to wheelchair tennis and is now on the cusp of being chosen for the next Paralympics.

Triathlon 24 - 52x52 Challenge
This morning was a simple get it done Tri, but of course I put in the usual hard work that I do every week.
Triathlon 23 - 52x52 Challenge
Triathlon Number 23/52 done - getting seriously close to the half way point.
Triathlon 22 - 52x52 Challenge
Last night I got home from work at 9pm so really couldn’t see myself getting up and doing a triathlon in the morning...
Triathlon 21 - 52x52 Challenge
All done inside. But not just because it’s foul out there. Last night I only had about 1 hours sleep as my Crohns was bad. So I needed this morning to get up, shake it off and fight through it, but not leave the house.
Triathlon 20 - 52x52 Challenge
Triathlon 20/52 and the best one yet. In fact at 2hrs 47 minutes it’s the fastest Olympic Triathlon I’ve done!
Triathlon 19 - 52x52 Challenge
Triathlon 19/52 (almost at the big 20!) This was a Tri of two sides for me today...
