Dani's fundraiser for Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital
Fundraising for Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital
Fundraising for Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital
Hello! I'm a huge animal lover and I've challenged myself to complete 3 triathlons in 6 weeks to raise money for Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital, a charity which is dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of sick, injured, orphaned and distressed wild animals and birds throughout Leicestershire and the surrounding region.
I'm competing in 3 triathlons over 6 weeks - a triathlon is a multi-discipline sport consisting of swimming, cycling and running all in one day, consecutively and as quickly as possible!
These are the events, distances and dates of the 3 triathlons in my challenge:
Burghley House @ Stamford, Peterborough - 12th May 2024
Open water swim - 750m
Bike - 20km
Run - 5km
Blenheim Palace @ Woodstock, Oxfordshire - 1st June 2024
Open water swim - 750m
Bike - 19.8km
Run - 5.4k
The Dambuster @ Rutland Water, Rutland - 23rd June 2024
Open water swim - 750m
Bike - 20km
Run - 5k
I've completed the Birmingham City Triathlon twice before (2013 and I think 2014/15) but taking part in 3 triathlons over 6 weeks is a MASSIVE challenge, and it's going to take a HUGE amount of training and determination to complete all 3! Your support and donations will really help make a difference - to my challenge and the wildlife treated at the hospital!
Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital is an asset to Leicestershire and the surrounding region. The charity's aim is to provide vulnerable wildlife with first aid followed by recuperation, rehabilitation and eventual release back into the wild. Any animal unable to be released or relocated is maintained at the hospital, in as natural environment as possible.
The charity treats all casualties free of charge - which takes a great deal of money and why I'm keen to raise as much money as possible for such a worthy cause.
