The Stockton River Rat Race 2012

We have been mightily impressed by the determination of a number of our supporters who have committed themselves to crazy challenge events, raising funds for us. You're all MAD for A WAY OUT, and we love you!

The most recent challenge event was one that took place right on our doorstep - the Stockton River Rat Race. The 10K race involves splashing, jumping, kayaking and running, including a jump from the ship just outside of our office into the cool, deep waters of the river Tees.

The preliminary warm-up exercises were very important...

Hands up in the air!
Liam doesn't seem to understand it's "Hands in the Air!"

Squats!

Push-ups
We managed to capture a few snapshots of our team near the end of the race, when they weren't swimming through the River Tees...

We met our racers at the finish line, and they did fantastically, and even had enough energy to give us a big grin at the end of it all.





We have also had volunteers who have been fundraising for us through Total Warrior again this year, with bungee jumps and more, and we are grateful to you all. Thank you for all you do - your activities help support our life changing work! (We hope you've had fun in the process... ;))

A Way Out x
