Triathlon for Castle Grange

Hi my Name is Gemma Blagbrough . I have lived with Cerebral Palsy since Birth ; and get around with the aid of elbow crutches.

As some of you will know my lovely Mum Janet has been diagnosed with Young Onset Dementia and currently lives in Castle Grange Care Home.

Castle Grange is a Dementia Specific Care home run by Kirklees council and earlier this year Castle Grange was saved from closure.

To mark this achievement I am completing a Triathlon with the help of Matt Swaz Fitness on Saturday 21 September 2024 ; the end of professional Carers week and donating any funds raised to the Castle Grange amenities fund.

The event will be time limited and will begin with a swim at Spen Valley Leisure Centre from 10.30 - 11.45 followed by a cycle at Street bikes CIC ; finishing with a walk around the gardens of Castle Grange ; so that residents and staff can join me if the wish .

Anything big or small is appreciated in these challenging times. Thanks for reading my story love Gemma xx
