Attempting IronMan 70.3 and Fundraising to Make a Difference!
- 06/03/2018 - 31/05/2018
Chafing for Charity are fundraising for UNICEF Malaysia
The "70.3" refers to the total distance in miles (113.0 km) covered in the race, consisting of a 1.2-mile (1.9 km) swim, a 56-mile (90 km) bike ride, and a 13.1-mile (21.1 km) run. Our 3 main objectives for the event are: Hitting our Fundraising Target, Race Completion & Avoiding Moderate to Severe Chafing.
My Story
We’d like to think we lie somewhere in the middle. Chafing for Charity is the story of 3 individuals who collectively, have limited to no experience in the Triathlon scene. The aim is simple, raise as much money as possible doing the IronMan 70.3, hosted in Da Nang, Vietnam on May 13th. Complete the race (and prior training) with all limbs intact, and with the help of copious amount of talcum powder, Vaseline and diaper rash cream, limit the amount of chafing experienced throughout this period.
In seeking the uncomfortable, we’re aiming to put ourselves into positions that others, sadly don’t have a choice to do. We believe that access to healthcare and education as well as the protection of fundamental rights are imperative– for every human and for every child. That said, we are aiming to raise a minimum of RM12,000 for UNICEF Malaysia to aid in their constant battle for the rights of every child both locally and globally.
We hope to get your support for this good cause and we hope our sacrifices for substituting pub crawls for long runs, rice for quinoa and extra sleep for bike rides show’s itself in your generosity.
Every amount will help us move towards our goal, thanks in advance for your kind support!
