Katie’s story
The Charlie Froud Foundation’ has been set up in memory of Charlie, a 14 year-old boy who died in October 2008 when the light aircraft he was travelling in, crashed in the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland. He was on his way to stay in the holiday home of his good friend Ayman and his parents, all of whom were with Charlie on the plane and died with him.
Our missions are:
• To keep Charlie’s memory alive in a positive way
• To bring people together
• To raise money for good causes
Charlies Ultra Challenge is our major fundraiser for 2024. We have signed up to a 100 mile cycle, 10 mile run and a 1 mile swim. Taking place at the Cotswold Water Park over 2 days.
This is my first challenge for the foundation, and I am finding the training tricky (especially those of you who know me, will know anything active is not my strong point!!) so having to reach fitness in all 3 disciplines is certainly testing! It has been very rewarding to see myself progress over the last few months and the pride I know I’ll feel at the end is pushing me through. Harry has taken part in past challenges for the foundation but this one is certainly the toughest yet, bringing in the multiple disciplines! Harry is enjoying his training, albeit feeling the aches of training almost everyday! We are sure that as the foundation is like a family, we will all pull together to succeed.
As with previous challenges to raise money for the foundation’s good causes, positivity, friendship and character will underpin our success. We are both really excited to be a part of this, and any support you are able to offer is appreciated more than you could know.
