The Cause
One of the inspirational young people we support is Nathan, who’s dream is to get to the next Paralympics. Rob’s unique ‘52 Triathlons in 52 Weeks’ challenge came about because Nathan needs to raise around £20,000, to enable him to reach the next Paralympics as a wheelchair tennis player. He is a remarkable young man who has Cerebral Palsy and who until 18 months ago, was a successful wheelchair racer who the Starr Trust was supporting. During a world championship race, Nathan suffered an accident that meant he could no longer race. So rather than give up he switched to wheelchair tennis and is now on the cusp of being chosen for the next Paralympics.

Week 4 – 52x52 Challenge
I’m definitely a morning person, always have been. Getting up at 6am and being in the sea by 6.30am is normal for me. But for some reason getting up at 6.30am to do my Triathlons seems to be a real challenge...
Week 3 – 52x52 Challenge
Number 3 came around very quickly. Oddly enough I found myself mid week looking forward to today, and that mind set made it much easier mentally this morning.
Week 2 - 52x52 Challenge
Triathlon number 2 done – Friday 7th January 2022 7am – 10am ish - Well that wasn’t as easy as I had hoped!
Week 1 – 52x52 Challenge
That was hard. 7.30 AM start for the swim, it was dark, cold and new years day – silly time and day to start this challenge.
