Help get Nadia to the Ironman World Championships

Donation protected
The team at the Protocol Group are raising funds to help get our friend and incredible colleague Nadia Wells to the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. She is such an inspiration to us all both inside and outside of the office and has worked so hard for so many years to get to where she is now, including completing gruelling training programmes alongside working full-time.

Here is Nadia's story...

'On 6 August 2023, I came 2nd in my age group at Ironman Gdynia (Poland). At the awards ceremony (the following day) it was announced that I had qualified for the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii...taking place on 14 October 2023 – only 8 weeks away (gulp!)

Qualifying for this race has been a dream of mine for 10 years since I did my first full Ironman distance at The Outlaw in Nottingham in 2013. After that, I was hooked and competed in Ironman events in Bolton, Uk (twice), Wales, Barcelona and Lanzarote always coming 4, 5,6 or 7 but just not good enough for a qualification slot for Kona. For women, there was only 1 or sometimes maybe 2 slots per age group so you had to podium to be with a chance. I decided that my dream wasn’t to be, and I should just enjoy the racing as the pressure of trying to podium was just too hard for me.

Looking back I think 2023 must be my lucky year…in March I competed at the World Duathlon Championships in Ibiza in a very competitive field to then podium at Ironman Poland and take 2nd Place and a qualifying slot for the World Championships.

Going to the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and a dream that has now come true!'

All money raised will be going towards helping Nadia live her dream!
