Matthew Regan has put together a team together to take on a fundraising triathlon on 24th April with an aim of raising £8000! The money will be split 50/50 between the club’s pavilion project and the ongoing development of Thorverton Primary School.
The team will take on an Olympic distance triathlon, consisting of swimming 1.5km (60 lengths) of Crediton Lords Meadow Swimming Pool, 40km cycle, followed by a 10km run finishing at the club.
The team so far:- Team so far – Adam Fisher, Matt Regan, Candice Regan, Annabel Hawkes, Alex Jopling, Nic Fic, Cate Stephens, Joe Reed, Katie Greet, John Harvey, Katherine Smith, Keeley Slaviero, Sureka Khan, Toby Giles, Vicky Chamings, Kerrie and Sophie Hawkes, Lisa Price, Matt Souch, Caitlin, Lara Folland and Tash Carbines. More to join either doing all or parts of it. To join in with the triathlon, please e-mail Matthew on mattregan79@live.co.uk.
Matthew said “We hope to raise £8,000-£10,000 or more split evenly between the school and the cricket club pavilion project. Earlier this year we did a marathon raising over £6,500 for a new school building so we want to raise the same amount of money whilst raising the profile of the cricket club and the school”.
Keeley Slaviero said “ So… I’ve signed up for the Triathlon (slightly against my better judgement! ). Thorverton is a place I love dearly, and I feel incredibly lucky to have been both a pupil and now a parent at the school. Thorverton Cricket Club is also very close to my heart. When Wine & Wickets first started, it was simply about bringing together an amazing group of women and four years later it’s grown into a thriving and successful ladies cricket team. Both the school and the cricket club are such special parts of our community. They give so much to so many people. So I thought… why not attempt something amazing to help support them both! If you’re able to donate or cheer me on, it would mean the world. Wish me luck, I will need it!”
Tash Carbines:- “I’ve signed up for this triathlon to help raise vital funds for two organisations that mean a great deal to me and our community. As one of five generations in my family to have attended Thorverton Primary School, supporting its future is incredibly important to me.
I’m also proud to be a player and member of Thorverton Cricket Club, which plays a huge role in bringing people together. It’s more than just a place to play sport, it’s a fantastic social hub, and I’m excited about the plans for a new pavilion that will benefit both current members and future generations.
We’re very fortunate as a community to have both such a wonderful school and a thriving cricket club. I’d love your support in helping us make a real difference; every contribution will go a long way in strengthening these important local institutions.”
