Clouds of Hope Aids Project

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.

The Club will be offering two prizes for anyone who sponsors Richard:>

1st Prize: A Spa day for two people including two treatments each, use of the facilities and a two course lunch.

2nd Prize: One month free Full Membership at the Club at County Hall.

All proceeds will go to Clouds of Hope!
