Tri for Life – Sunday 5th September 2010
We have recently become a partner in this fabulous fund raising idea, set up by the late Harvey Selby, who had a vision to widen the circle of support given to others. He saw the opportunity to combine the fastest growing sport with that of raising money for charities and set up Tri for Life. It is an event for all the family; it’s fun energetic but with a serious goal, to raise money for those in need. The next event takes place on the Sunday 5th September, at Eton College Boating House, Dorney Lake, Eton and Windsor.
Tri-for-life raises funds for nine different charities and have this year formed partnerships with a number of charities, The Emily Ash Trust being one: www.triforlife.co.uk/partners.html
With a choice of two distances either 400m swim, 5K run and 20K cycle or an 800m swim, 30K cycle and a 7.5K, enter as an individual or a team.

Parents and boys from Elmbridge Rugby Club have took up the challenge in 2009, when 46 agreed to take part and give something back, most of them are from the Under 14 team. The boys showed true dedication whilst combining rugby training and games theywere at Liquid Leisure, Datchet every Sunday at 6am for open water swim practice. Thanks to Mike Trees of 2XU who supplied the boys with wetsuits and along with Richard Stannard (4 x world champion) both providing training tips.

Sibling Day – Country Wide Special Events, Brook, Surrey, 2010
On Sunday 13th September 50 children, parents and Trust members experienced a fantastic day out at Country Wide Special Events. The day started with breakfast, three activities before lunch (e.g. Archery, Quad Bikes, Power Turns, Team building exercises) a further two activities after lunch, finished off with home made cakes and refreshments before being transported back home.
The day was so successful that the trust is hoping to repeat the experience twice next year! (Early & late Summer) Sandra Earle will advertise at the Royal Marsden for siblings and parents to experience this great day out, allowing them some quality time together in what can be such a difficult time.
