On Sunday 31 May 2009, eight un-athletic, unfit, self-proclaimed couch potatoes from Sixt rent a car’s UK Head Office, will attempt to finish the Chatsworth estate’s ‘Golden Gate’ 10km race.

The Sixt team have all been in training now for a few months and are all convinced they can complete the run in under 2 days. Speed, competitiveness and athletic prowess are not expressions that have been associated with us.

Team Sixt:

  • Richard Cusworth – Over trained and out in front
  • Wai-Yan Fung – Under weight and over paid
  • Erica Read – Under age and over confident
  • Dave Jackson – Over weight and under trained
  • Mark Jones – Out in front and in the zone
  • Karen Robson – Under trained and out of breath
  • Adam Wilkes – Under confident and in some pain
  • Ian Lawrence – Over-weight, over the hill and out of his mind.

So why are we doing it? There are 2 charities that we are raising funds for, Helen’s Trust and The Regine Sixt Children’s Aid Association.

Helen’s Trust is a local charity who help people with an incurable illness stay in their own home, providing for example: nursing care, sitters, help to run the house, equipment care for others or complementary therapy. Additional information can be found at www.helenstrust.org.uk.

The Regine Sixt Children’s Aid Association was founded in 2000. It supports various projects for cancer-suffering children, children`s hospitals and seriously ill children throughout the world. Our team wants to play it’s part in raising money to help these children meet their challenges.

We know times are hard and we are all watching the pennies, but if you could help by sponsoring our team to finish with any amount, no matter how small, it would be really appreciated.

Cheques should be made payable to Sixt Kenning Ltd, please note on the back ‘Golden Gate race donation’ and send to Catherine Hope (Chief Coach & Medic) at:
