Charity Duathlon at Newbie

This morning's duathlon event proved to be a great success raising £250 for the Anthony Nolan trust . A good turnout in glorious weather competitors enjoyed a fun event which went down well. Competitors took part in a 2 mile run followed by a 6 mile cycle and again followed by another 2 mile run. Competitors were allowed to run as teams of 2 or 3 or individually. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the event in which it didn't matter who was 1st , 2nd or 3rd. The most important outcome was the raising of funds and awareness of bone marrow transplant and the importance of donors who can save lives.

Euan Duff thanked competitors -including his teammate ;-) on behalf of his father Colin who has recently undergone a transplant. We all wish him well in his continuing recovery. There are many photographs which will appear on our facebook site and many funny moments like the one below. Many thanks to everyone that took part and helped in any way today. It was also Sir Kev' 50th birthday and a special cake and goodies were presented to him.
