Hello all!
Welcome to Team SuperBASS's blog!
(N.B. Taken in black and white, not for artistic affect but because colour wasn't our friend that day and neither was the "thumbs up" pose I adopted but it managed to sneak in, dammit)
The planning of training sessions have commenced, the acutal training TBC. We have some Hampstead Heath training sessions on the agenda and some party tricks up our sleeves to hit our fundraising target. Personally, I'm attempting to graduate from doggy paddle to a swimming stroke I can do in public whilst avoiding the inhalation of chlorinated water via the nasal passage.
Luckily for us, Age UK have given us places in the London 2012 Triathlon to fulfill this challenge and also the opportunity to fundraise for a charity that we have had many dealings with in our day jobs as OTs. Many times we've recommended patients and their families to seek advice/help from Age UK where public resources have stopped short. In the ever depressing "current climate" and "big society" where public funding is squeezed and public services are being cut, we are becoming increasingly more dependent on charities like Age UK to fill this ever growing gap.

This is where we need you! (and if you've been able to put up with my exclamation marks and quotation marks and general amatuer blogging then thank you!). We would appreciate very much if you took the time to sponsor us for this wonderful charity. In return, we will attempt to complete the London triathlon for your amusement :-) And amusing I'm sure it will be!
Thanking you already....
Lots of love,
Alison, Brid, Stef and Sinead
