We wanted to share this...

A speech by @thelaurahydefoundation co-founder and CEO, Liam Barnes.

In it he talks about Laura Hyde, why they started the LHF, what the charity does and... Why the LHF is needed more than ever.

He also reveals some truly shocking statistics.

Every one of us at the #wrt2021relay is proud to have supported the LHF and the work they do. We wish Liam and the rest of the LHF team very best wishes for the future.

So many amazing relay challenges have taken place

So many amazing relay challenges have taken place in September, undertaken by so many wonderful people. And the amount fundraised is still going up! THANK YOU!

Earlier this month Sarah and Zoe swam and walked a mind-boggling 74km down the Thames river! Here's their story:

"We managed to travel 74 kms in total, of which we swam 67 kms and walked 8 kms (on day 3 when we were so knackered and chaffed!!). It was an amazing, tough, rich and just wonderful experience, and we were really thrilled and overwhelmed that friends and family helped us to raise just over £2,000. We finished at Days Lock on Monday around 6.30pm.

“Thanks so much to you and the WRT2021 team for creating a fantastic opportunity for us to take on this swim challenge. I’m not sure I’ll ever swim that far ever again, but I’m SO glad we did it, and for such an important, worthwhile cause."

Thank you so much, Sarah and Zoe.

An amazing #wrt2021relay took place in Northern Ireland recently! …

"Across the Sea of Moyle Northern Ireland - we are 3 from Ballycastle and 3 from Rathlin Island inspired together to take part in this WRT2021 relay to raise up all those healthcare & emergency service staff who work long and exhausting days or nights, even more so over the last 18 months, giving so much of themselves as they look after us and our families. We each have our own stories full of gratitude but know of many others too.
And this is a real community effort and event, across the generations and from all walks of life. All joining in with kindness and generosity, all having fun - remembering and thankful!"

And they've raised nearly £3k! THANK YOU!!!!

THEY DID IT!

"Congratulations to this amazing #wrt2021relay team (a number of us are healthcare workers that have fought directly in the Covid battle) who, following the last 3 weeks efforts have swam, biked, run, rowed, kayaked and paddle boarded a whopping further 397 miles to complete the round Wales virtual relay reaching our starting point of Chepstow. Wales leg is complete 👊"
