One of the things we believe in at enthios training and development is the idea of 'Pay it forward'; acting unconditionally, in service of someone else, in the simple belief that it makes the world a better place. In pursuit of this idea we raise money for charity, by taking on various challenges and events. This year, Miles is taking on the Deca Ironman, where over a two week period you are required to swim for 38Km, cycle for 1800Km and run for 422Km. We aim to raise £20000 for Right to Play. Check out what they do on their website, http://www.righttoplay.com/uk/Pages/Home.aspx. Why Right to Play? Well, the truth is that there are many charities that we would like to support and we have to choose one. Play is an important developmental tool - it helps children learn the social rules of cooperating with others and is also the source of creativity. If we want to make the world a better place then these two qualities will be important in instigating change. Finally, sport at its finest can teach people of all ages about honour, respect and achievement.
There are 12 weeks to go before the big event. Miles is scheduled to start at 9pm on 26th June 2012.
If you would like to make a donation, you can do so at http://www.justgiving.com/Miles-Peacock.
If we can get 1000 people to sponsor Miles at 1p per kilometre, we will exceed my target by £2600, so tell your friends and let's get this crazy idea going viral!
Thanks everyone for your support. You can follow Miles' progress, on his blog http://doingthedeca.blogspot.co.uk
