WRT Wall - We Remember Them

WALL OF STORIES

wrt2021relay

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!!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH Brompton Belles&Beaux Dippers and everyone else involved in this wonderful virtual relay! Here's their story:

"4 members of Brompton Belles&Beaux Dippers headed out last night to cover the coast from Donaghadee "Chunky Dunkers" Swimming Gang! SKINS ONLY GROUP slipway back to Jenny Watts Cove (picking up where Derg Davitt and Mike Hirst so admirably started). Well done Sharon Matchett (no training required), Vanessa Nixon (puncture indeed!) and Mark Reid, and of course, 'transition manager' Ian. Next leg in September..!"

Very best of luck to the Sea of Moyle - land, sea

Very best of luck to the Sea of Moyle - land, sea and air relay team who are carrying the WRT baton on 7th and 8th August, from the cliff top of Fairhead to Ballycastle and onto the ferry to Rathlin Island, where walkers, stiltwalkers, cyclists, horses, tractor, runners, the postal van and fire engine, followed by swimmers and canoeists will carry it to and from the East Lighthouse, finishing the day on the beach with a poem or two for the island's nurses and emergency service workers.

"We want to say Thank You to our dedicated and compassionate NHS health and social care teams and emergency services who have given so much of themselves over this most exhausting and demanding 12-18 months. We want to honour and remember those who are no longer with us and acknowledge their inspiring legacy."

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE RELAY LEG... THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Thank you, Sharon. Such an inspiring story…

“I’m doing it in memory of all those patients whose hands I have held during this awful pandemic and those friends I have lost. It has been an incredibly difficult time and if I can raise some money that will be great. I would be absolutely thrilled if colleagues would join me and together we can make a difference."

THANK YOU MERRY MERMAIDS FOR RAISING OVER £1000 FOR #WRT2021RELAY !!!

Here's their story:

"Our Merry band of Mermaids started when a small group of friends wanted to practice swimming together. We have grown into a friendly, supportive community where we have witnessed the benefits of open water swimming on our mental & physical health 🧜‍♀️

Our friends & family supported us here in beautiful Cornwall as we collected the baton from Maenporth & made our way via kayak to Porth Sawsen, where we swam along the Helford river to our final destination at The Ferryboat Inn 🏊‍♀️

We hope by taking part we can give something back to support the NHS & raise awareness of the wonderful work carried out by the Laura Hyde Foundation, Caring for our Carers💙"
