There are sports fanatics and there are extreme sports fanatics and once you’ve met Deborah and Wayne you’ll realise that neither will settle for anything less than being mental sports fanatics. So we thought we’d give them a little support to help them on their way at this weekend’s endurance race in the Yorkshire Dales. In addition we supplied their kit for the race – well when I say kit, I actually mean shorts and t-shirts emblazoned with the Foundation logo, website and pink fluorescent supportive hands strategically buttock-positioned. There was a nice little piece about them in the local press too, with them at the Cow and Calf Rocks in Ilkley,  Deborah not missing the opportunity to  position her bottom straight to camera. Bit of a sly one, that Deborah! As Marketing Manager for Yorkshire Agricultural Society we work with her on the Countryside Live and Fodder accounts, know her quite well and she’d be the first to say she doesn’t have time for girly frills and fancies. However, after seeing her sport a new blue-tint lippy last week and only 2 days later seeing the models on the Paul Smith catwalk do likewise, reckon she’s a bit of a dark horse!

Anyway very best wishes to both Deborah and Wayne this weekend as they rock climb, mountain bike, run and kayak – against the clock! Find out more about the event at  www.openadventure.com and more about their club, the York Mountaineering Club at www.yorkmc.org.uk
