Story

My name is Matt Kirby I am the Co-Founder of the Arctic One Foundation and part of the Foundations aims is to support Para Athletes through our Events and  'Forward Motion' Grant System.  

Brett Daugherty, a Cyclist and Triathlete while on a cycle ride in Wales on 17th July 2021 with his mates had a catastrophic accident with a trailer which resulted in an above knee amputation of his right leg! 

Brett not sitting back has turned his attention to Paratriathlon and along with his mates has been fundraising for a cycle leg/running blade which don't come cheap (£18,000) and there is still a substantial shortfall.  Brett has applied for an Arctic One Grant which we will be supporting and all monies raised on this page will be added to his grant. 

I will raffle off some work and anyone that donates will be allocated tickets (£2 a ticket) to help Brett get his running blade.   Brett is already on the 

'Kona' Metallic paint on 50cm x 50cm boxed canvas. 

The draw will be on 8pm September 25th and I will carefully package and post out the work anywhere worldwide. 

If you can spare a few quid it would be appreciated. I am hoping to raise £1000! Big Ask!
