The distance of this event includes a 2km swim, 90 bike and 21km run. This event will take place on 7th February 2015 in New Plymouth.

Sam will be running and I will be completing the bike.

Here is some information about the Catwalk Trust and the amazing work they do.

The CatWalk Spinal Cord Injury Trust was founded in 2005 by Catriona Williams, formerly one of New Zealand’s leading international equestrian riders.

Following a riding accident in 2002, she is now C6/C7 tetraplegic and confined to a wheelchair. Initially a group of friends planned to fundraise for Williams herself – but a bigger picture quickly became clear. A cure for all was Williams’ dream – and so CatWalk was born.

After exploring several options, the group agreed that supporting researchers in the very realistic bid for a cure for Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI) would be CatWalk’s aim. And so, The CatWalk Trust is dedicated to raising funds to support the body of scientific opinion which says a cure for Spinal Cord Injury will be found.

The reason for our involvement is to challenge ourselves to reach new goals, to support the Catwalk Trust and Catriona as she embarks on this journey as an individual competitor.
