The London Triathlon is a no-brainer for the BRT!

A BIG thank-you to all of our participants in last weekend’s London Triathlon for the Brain Research Trust, who braved the elements - and Victoria Dock! - to raise vital funds for neurological research.

Eight people took part, with most favouring the Olympic distance event – no mean feat, since it entails a 1,500 metre swim, followed by a 40 km cycle, and finally finishing with a 10 km run.

Pictured are (left to right) Frances Foster, Susie Mosson and Anne Allis who together formed a team – named The No-Brainers – each of whom took on one element of the event. Despite the unseasonal weather, the girls, from HR Consultancy Chiumento, enjoyed themselves, and have raised over £2,000 in the process. Said Susie: “we had a great time and we were just so pleased that people donated so generously. We are already planning our next challenge!”

All in all, a total of well over £5,000 was raised from the London Triathlon. The Brain Research Trust would like to thank everyone who took part, including: Marie Cartwright, Keith Foley, James Hardy, Tom McCaul, Greg Spencer and Ben Walden.
