A Message from Barbara to the group

 

Hi Wolfi

 

Can you send out an email to all the guys asking who would be interested in doing a 1/2 IM event on the weekend of 27.4. in RAK as part of the Freestyle Ironman Event?

 

I have spoken to the organizers and they would be willing to put on a 1/2 IM event if about 20 people are interested. I know several of us are training for an IM even later on in the season and it wouldn't make sense for us to perform a full 3.8. - 180 - 42 race just weeks before, which is what is currently offered aside from the Ultra distance.

 

Please have anyone interested in a 1/2 IM event on the weekend of 27.4. in RAK reply to my email address (ginn_barbara@...) with their full name and mobile numbers.

 

Call me if you have any questions (050 719 8699) Thanks for your help!!    B

 

 

 

Have a look at these links for the cycling race in Abu Dhabi end of the year

NORTH POLE FUNDRAISER

 

As you may be aware, I am aiming to raise awareness and funds for Leukemia and the Children's Hope Foundation from my forthcoming North Pole expedition

- for which I leave the UAE on 12 Feb, hopefully reaching the Pole by the end of April.

 

Thanks to the extensive PR that's part of the package, awareness has been raised somewhat - with a new desperate case being highlighted each week by some papers it seems - but I would be very grateful for all of your support to the hundreds of children suffering silently.

 

If you would like to contribute, which I very much hope you will, please log into www.adrianhayes.com, go straight to 'Charity Campaign' on the left hand menu and follow the simple instructions to make a donation. Else go straight to www.justgiving.com/adrianhayes

 

A small gesture of Dhs 70 or 100 would be great. If you can forward to your colleagues and work/social groups, or make a formal donation from your company, even better.

 

Many thanks for your support,

 

Adrian
