Fancy some publicity in an EPIC relay event?

In less than 2 weeks from now I shall be attempting and ironman length triathlon! A 4k swim, a 180km cycle followed by a 42km run. A very scary thought considering I am not back in the UK yet.

This is not an official sponsorship request- merely and extra incentive to make a donation the The Hucklebury Foundation in return for me wearing a branded T-Shirt of your choice.

The Event

I am merely joining this epic event for the last few legs. Today (5th May) Duncan Hewson and his brother Adam are travelling around the whole of the UK doing and ironman length triathlon every day for 12 days. I am joining them for the glory legs at the end!

For more info see: www.bigsocietyrelay.org/

The Opportunity

By the time I join them on the final day the event should have picked up quite a bit of media attention – particularly as the event finishes at the Olympic Park. We have interest from the BBC.
You will have the rights to all the photos (that I can get my hands on) to use for marketing. Perhaps some good content for a motivational blog post or something for a company magazine or other marketing material.
The more you donate the more I will shout about you on my website/social media etc!

The Offer

If you would like me to wear a T-Shirt with your company logo then please just send me an email (grahammilton1@gmail.com) with your offer (min £50). Its a closed bid! I will only expect one offer who will get the whole garment to use at their disposal.
If you have a nylon T-Shirt with your logo’s then great, send me that otherwise send me a logo and I can have one made up.

Time Scales

The event is already underway. I run on 16th May. Deadline for bids on 11th May which gives us time to get it printed.

About the Huckleberry Foundation

The Huckleberry Foundation seeks to provide inspirational and life-changing opportunities, experiences and training to young people in the UK whose circumstances would ordinarily make such possibilities forever out of reach. I personally have been incredibly lucky with the opportunities I have had thus far and would love to be able to help other less fortunate have similar opportunities.

More more info please see the Huckleberry Foundation website

The Event Ethos

Its all about setting yourself your own personal challenge. Perhaps just a swim leg or a marathon. For me it’s the swim (4km), cycle (180km) and run (42km). For Duncan and Adam its 12 of these in 12 days! It’s about teamwork and togetherness. We will all travel as a group, supporting each other for saftey, motivation and directions! Very much a self support event with a camper van following the ‘pack’ around the country. It’s about the unknown. Putting your body into the unknown with people you don’t know on a route you don’t know in a sport you don’t know….as seeing what happens.

This is the route that the whole event takes. My route starts in Tonbridge. We Swim in the River Wey and the Marathon starts in Bushy Park and finished at the Olympic Park.
