Congratulations Amy on completing your half iron man triathlon

Amy

Futures for Women Trustee Amy McVittie (left in the photo) completed her half iron man triathlon in Arizona on Sunday 16 October clocking up a fantastic time of 7 hours 24 minutes – beating her target time by 6 minutes!  The distances were a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile cycle ride and a 13.1 mile run – double the length of the Olympic triathlon.  We would like to offer our congratulations to Amy and wish her a well-deserved rest by the pool.  And thank you Amy for selecting Futures for Women as one of the charities to benefit from your fundraising – MacMillan Cancer Support is the second charity.  You can make a donation on Amy’s Virgin Giving page.

Ex FfW grantee sets up a choir for people with lung disease

With the help of an interest-free loan Mary Anne was able to train as a music therapist.  Now working in her desired career she has recently established a choir for people with lung disease.  Singing has proved to be very beneficial for people with breathing problems and also provides a sense of camaraderie between the participants.  You can read all about one of the singers here, and also hear the choir in action!

Thank you for getting in touch Mary Anne – it is great to hear from ex-grantees who are now contributing so positively to society.
