Radio City’s Cash for Kids is committed to making the Duathlon /Triathlon Challenges one of its main fundraising priorities in 2010, by bringing together youngsters from all our communities for what is an exhilarating fun and exciting event to take part in. The fantastic thing about the Duathlon is that all age groups of any ability can participate. From the “weenies” who use scooters, as many have not yet mastered the art of riding a bike to the more athletic youngsters who strive to move up from the Duathlon to the Triathlon pitting their skills against swimmers, runners and cyclists from all over the country and other parts of the world.

Radio City’s Cash for Kids are delighted that one of the patrons for the Duathlon/ Triathlon Challenge 2010 is Jamie Burdekin. Jamie from Blundellsands took part in the the quad singles and quad doubles tennis at the Beiijing Paralymics in 2008 representing Great Britain, he brought home a bronze medal. Jamie was also a member of Great Britain’s quad wheelchair tennis team that won a 3rd World Team Cup in 2009 beating the United States with a 2-0 victory.

Jamie is an amazing human being, who is supportive and inspirational to youngsters in the community. Having been injured in a car accident as a young man he has gone on to achieve the goals that he had set himself but also instils in others that they can do the same.

We hope that you will join Cash for Kids and take part in the Duathlon / Triathlon Challenges in 2010 Additional forms are available to download from here.
