Congratulations to Graine Feeney – the Club’s Girls Development Officer – in completing the London Triathlon event for charity in August.
The “Triathlon” is a continuous event comprising swimming, cycling and running with no rest in between. Graine writes “Undergoing major heart surgery at any age is tough. For my 28 year old nephew who was born with a heart efect he had known the day would come and it did in January 2016. Thankfully he has made a good recovery but he will have to continue to be monitored and may need further surgery. My sisters and I decided we would do something to help, but as none of us are medically trained we opted for the London Triathlon. Our goal was to raise £1,000 in aid of the British Heart Foundation as without their support and research people like him would not survive. On Saturday 6 August we completed our challenge, not only finishing the triathlon but also raising more than our target. A BIG thank you to all our supporters!”.
A great achievement ladies and a massive well done from all at Junior Reds
