Tomkins Triathlon Team 2008
Tomkins plc is raising money for The Aplastic Anaemia Trust
Participants: Matt, Marc, Alfonso, Ralph & Patrick
Story
It's that time of the year again...
A team of Tomkins staff have agreed to:
* Submerge themselves in the Serpentine (1km swim),
* Run around Hyde Park (10km)
* Take on the French traffic with a cycle around the outskirts of Paris (80km)!
FYI: 10km = 6.2 miles.
This event is NO EASY CHALLENGE - we work very hard to get the fitness required for the event. Why do we do it? To support the AAT!
The AAT is a fantastic charity, and relies totally on donations from the public.
Please visit http://www.theaat.org.uk to see some of the fantastic things that the charity has been able to achieve with proceeds from the event. Since the triathlon started over two decades ago, the survival-rates of patients treated at St. George's Hospital has dramatically increased - but until the survival rate is 100% there is more work to do, and this needs to be funded by public support.
At least 91p of every £1 that you donate will go directly to SAVING LIVES. Because Aplastic Anaemia is so rare, the AAT do not attract the same interest or funding as major charities. The AAT are TOTALLY DEPENDANT on funds raised by charitable efforts.
Members of the Tomkins team are trying to smash our record for fund-raising for the AAT, and to do this we REALLY need your support! Please dig deep and sponsor us on-line. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: The Aplastic Anaemia Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% will be added to your gift at no cost to you. So please sponsor us now!
MANY THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
