Ray Sponsored Solo Half Marathon Pool Swim for seriously ill children.

Story

Mission Statement:

Ray is a lorry driver, with a love of Triathlons. He has competed in many events such as duathlons & triathlons. Also 5k, 10k and half marathon distance running races. Ray is part of Chasewater Tri Club, and regularly attends the gym. These are skills that Ray has chosen to use in support charities.

Back in July 2015, Ray decided to take on the challenge of a Half Marathon distance swim of 13.2 Miles in aid of Macmillan Cancer. Completing the challenge in a time of 10 hours 30 minutes and raising £1550, this spurred him on to take on the challenge once again in aid of another charity; this time he aims to beat both his Target time and up the amount of money that he raised.

This time the challenge will be in aid of Matts Mission Children’s Charity. Ray is aiming to swim the half marathon distance in under 8hrs and is hoping to gain a minimum £3000 in sponsorship and fund raising.

With training well under way, Ray, with the support of his wife Sue and a background team, is working on all elements of his fitness regime in order to build strength and stamina for the proposed event.
