President Julie has challenged members of Wakefield and District to complete 90 challenges during her presidency to celebrate the club’s 90th year. Members have recorded individual challenges as well as ones for the club.
Julie set herself a personal challenge of swimming in open water. Julie has been training since January 2024, and completed the on 8th June when she took part in the Great North Swim in Lake Windermere.
This project is multi-faceted as it encourages members to challenge themselves and benefit others as well, in this instance it will raise funds for a young person’s charity, Julie had worked with Gold From the Stone Foundation to raise funds by asking people to sponsor her. This foundation provides Christmas Lunch for young people who have left care, to ensure they have a meal and a gift.
Watch out for more challenges throughout the year!
