FULL IRONMAN to raise money for Hospice!

Earlier this year I lost my beloved aunty to lung cancer who was the heart of our family, and played a massive role in all of our lives. It has been a tremendous loss to our family, leaving a space that no one can fill.

In order to honour her, I wanted to do something that would not only help me move forward with my grief but help out other people who are going through similar situations.

I have decided to take on the daunting challenge of completing a full ironman in Taupo on 1 March 2025. For those who don't know what that is, it consists of a 3.8km swim, 180 km bike and a 42.2 km.

All funds raised will go directly to Cranford Hospice. Around 50% of funding (about $4million every year) comes from fundraising. Annually they support around 696 people in their homes, 122 people in their inpatient unit and 759 people with counselling and bereavement support.

To any businesses that would like to make a donation please contact me by email (abbeyrosesherwood@gmail.com) as I will be organising a custom trisuit for the race and will be including the sponsors logos and any business that would like to make a donation.

Thank you to my main sponsors for helping me make this happen:
