52x52 Challenge

Follow the unique journey of Starr Trust Founder & Chairman Rob Starr, whilst he takes on an extreme year long challenge - an Olympic Distance Triathlon every week for 52 weeks in 2022!

Our Target

£105,160 raised of £100,000 goal

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.

I worked my socks off today on this one. I was feeling so exhausted from my work trip away that I knew if I didn’t really crack on that it would end up taking me all day!

Triathlon 10 completed in the sunnier climes of Johannesburg South Africa; I am here for the week on business, so had no choice but to find a way of doing it here.

Triathlon 9 - 52x52 Challenge

Posted Feb 28, 2022

Todays Tri was to the backdrop of the shocking news in Ukraine. I spent the entire bike leg watching the news as I turned my legs; I can’t remember the last time I watched the news for almost 90 minutes without a break.

Triathlon number 8 was oddly the first one that seemed to breeze by. Maybe it was the Storm Eunice effect pushing me forward, she was certainly giving it a go!
