Lara's Triathlon to Twickenham Challenge
Fundraising for Hansa Class UK
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Sailing gives me so many opportunities; getting out of my wheelchair, socialising with friends and being outside doing something active.
Racing in the Hansa 2.3 fleet allows me to follow my dream and compete for the GB team in the UK and overseas. In 2023 the Hansa World Championships will be held in Portimao, Portugal and I am raising funds to help the team achieve their full potential at this event.
The Hansa Class is a small charity and their support means that we can compete as a team at the Championships with the help of volunteers and coaches.
So I wanted to set myself the challenge of doing a triathlon to Twickenham. Twickenham is 88.6km from my home. Obviously I can't swim there, so my challenge will be completed in a gym and a pool - swimming, cycling, and arm bike. I can only do short distances, so my target will be done over a year. This will really push me.
My target will be to do 44km Arm bike, 26.4km Leg bike, and 17.6km swim. That's 88.8km!
My challenge will start 30th August 2022, and end 29th August 2023.
Follow my progress below.
Please sponsor me. It will go towards the Hansa team's fundraising effort to support us all, both on and off the water, at the World Championships in 2023. Please also follow me and the Hansa Class on social media to see how our trip to the World Championships progresses!
