Trethowans complete Snowdonia Charity Challenge
(NewDesignWorld Press Release Center) -- Two Trethowans Teams have successfully completed an endurance triathlon in Snowdonia to raise money for REGAIN, the Trust for Sports Tetraplegics. REGAIN is the only charitable organisation dedicated solely to improving the independence of all British men and women who have become tetraplegic (sometimes referred to as quadriplegic) as a result of a competitive sports injury.
The Trethowans Teams successfully completed the Snowdonia Charity Challenge last Saturday. This consisted of a triathlon-style event for teams of four - cycling 40 miles, climbing Snowdon and canoeing a course, this year on Llyn Gwynant
Team A comprised David Healy, Rob Chapman, David Jones and Duane Walker and Team B was made up of Chris Whiteley, Matt Freeman, Mike Trench and Garry Treagust.
Both teams successfully completed the event, with Team A coming 22nd and Team B coming 36th out of 48 teams in 7 hours and 19 minutes and 8 hours and 27 minutes respectively.
Commenting on the event, Partner Garry Treagust said, "The weather was kind to us and the scenery was spectacular. Even more importantly, collectively the two teams successfully raised sponsorship in excess of £3,000 for the charity, REGAIN, which is a really good effort, especially in the current difficult economic times. A big thank you must go to the team members and to those who sponsored us. Their support was very much appreciated and helped spur us on through the aches and pains".
