One Man 24hrs

Charity Endurance Event

When: July 2, 2009

At 10pm on 2nd July, 2009, Richard Reid will begin a 24 hour indoor cardio challenge to raise money for the Clouds of Hope AIDS project in South Africa. The event will see Richard covering a distance of around 240 kilometres and burning approximately 18000 calories (equivalent to over 80 pints of larger or over 80 Mars bars).

Richard is a personal trainer, sports massage therapist and relaxation therapist and has been training for this event since December 2008. The event will be held at the London Marriott County Hall Club & Spa near Waterloo and will see Richard swap between the treadmill, rowing machine, and cross trainer each hour. The event will be particularly difficult for Richard as he is used to training for the explosive strength needed for gymnastics and martial arts, and is not naturally an endurance athlete.

All the money raised from this event will go to the charity Clouds of Hope which provides a loving home for over 85 children orphaned by AIDS in rural South Africa aged just a three months to 18 years. All our children have in some way been affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic, and were in need of desperate assistance when taken in by the project. The Clouds of Hope Outreach program also provides daily breakfast and lunch boxes for 146 children in need within the local area for whom we currently lack the capacity to offer residential care. Great emphasis is placed on the children’s education and all the children attend a local school. We have high hopes for our children, who we hope will be equipped to become the ‘change makers’ of the next generation of South Africans.

The Club will be offering two prizes for anyone who sponsors Richard – find out more visit http://www.justgiving.com/richardreid3 :
