 The Samworth Brothers Charity Challenge, to
be held in the Lake District on the 30th June, is aimed at raising as much money as possible for good causes. We are delighted that FMA UK has been chosen
to be one of them! More information can be found on the events website.
What
is the Challenge?
This is a triathlon for teams of four who
will take part in a13km walk/scramble to an altitude of 958m and a 32km
bike ride climbing to 632m, both in the Helvellyn mountain range, and a
10km canoe across the lake at Ullswater.
Quite a challenge. To see just how

Where
does FMA UK
come into this?
George Hebditch is taking part and raising funds for FMA UK as
his mother is a fibromyalgia sufferer.
George is the team co-ordinator for Marks and Spencer team 2 who are calling
themselves ‘The Sushi Queens'. His team
will be raising sponsorship for three charities; FMA UK, Breakthrough and Dreams Come
True.
About George
George has worked for Marks
& Spencer as a Food Buyer for over 4 years after studying Food &
Catering Management at Bournemouth
University.
George's mother works
as an accountant, is a qualified reflexologist and, until recently, has been in
fairly good health. Always an active
person, who even played for Brighton & Hove Albion ladies, she now
struggles to walk the stairs without pain... quite a deterioration!

What can you do to help?
With George and his
team putting in so much effort on our behalf, it would be brilliant if we could
help him in his challenge. Any donation,
however small, would make a tremendous difference and raise much needed funds and
awareness for the Association. It is so
difficult for us to take part in fundraising activities due to our health
limitations but we can help those who make the effort on our behalf.
