10 FUNDRAISING
YOUNG SPRINT STAR BECOMES MUSCLE WARRIOR FOR THE DAY
Junior sprint star and Wells Sports Foundation Ambassador Jodie Williams recently became a ‘Muscle Warrior’ for the day in support of the Muscle Help Foundation, the charity for those affected by muscular dystrophy.
Jodie attended the charity’s inaugural Family Sports Day, which included the first Muscle Warrior 10k Run, a 2k Superhero Fancy Dress Toddle and a successful attempt to break the world record for the largest three- legged race in the UK, which aimed to get families involved in sporting activities as well as raising money for the charity’s Muscle Dreams programme.
The co-founder and CEO of the Muscle Help Foundation, Michael McGrath, said: “I must confess to
feeling a little anxious as I watched Jodie and her father Richard put on their Muscle Warrior t-shirts, tie up their ankles and then head off at great pace as one of the pairs in our Guinness World Record three-legged race!
“Thankfully the Haileybury grass was soft, there were no falls that I saw, and both Jodie and Richard thankfully survived without incident!” he added. “It was a fantastic day, more than £4,000 was raised for the charity and much fun was had by all.”

SIX SWIMMERS COMPLETE CHANNEL CHALLENGE
Six swimmers successfully completed a fund-raising swim of the English Channel in aid of spinal injury channel Aspire.
Simmers Rosie Williams, Claire Barratt, Lucy Ranford, Kay Hughes, Matt Drew and Charles Perkins took turns to swim for an hour at a time, in just swimwear – no wet suits were involved, making this a very tough challenge indeed.
The team had a fantastic start, crossing the shipping lanes much earlier than they’d expected, but then the weather took a turn for the worst as a force five wind struck. However, the mood remained defiant and, several hours later, Claire reached France on behalf of the team.
Community and event fundraiser for Aspire, Andrew Ogierman, said: “I am truly humbled to have watched six people put themselves through hell to have achieved an amazing crossing – particularly given the conditions!’’
