Hettie Takes On the Ironman in Support of CSMF!

We’re incredibly excited to share some inspiring news: our supporter Hettie Barry is taking on the full Ironman triathlon, in aid of the Charlie Sumption Memorial Fund (CSMF). Over the coming weeks and months, she’ll be training hard for one of the toughest challenges out there—completing a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.2-mile marathon—all in a single event!

Hettie has already clocked countless early-morning swims, long cycling miles through the hills, and steady, strong runs. With every stroke, pedal, and step she’s raising awareness and vital funds to support CSMF’s mission: providing scholarships and educational opportunities for children in Kenya who otherwise might not be able to access them.

Here’s how you can follow and support Hettie’s journey:

• Watch this space for photo updates from her training and the race.

• Visit Hettie's JustGiving page to make a donation in her name.

• Share her story with friends and family to help spread the word.

Hettie’s dedication is a powerful reminder that with courage and kindness, personal challenges can create lasting impact. We’re deeply thankful to her—and all our supporters—for keeping Charlie’s legacy alive.

Together, we’re making education possible. Thank you for being part of it.
