What an amazing evening at Kilton Forest Golf Club following their Captains Charity Golf Day. The golf day marked the end of Club Captain Lee Eyre’s fundraising activities for the Be More Bailey Charitable Foundation and we are so incredibly grateful to Lee for selecting our Foundation as his Charity to support throughout his time as Club Captain.

Bailey was invited along to the presentation evening to receive a cheque for the phenomenal amount of £3,304.60 where he was also given the opportunity to say ‘Thank you’ say a few words about the Foundation, followed by an impromptu performance of ‘Sweet Caroline’ and an interesting story about his only golf experience alongside his golf mentor ‘Grandad Ken’.

It is with great excitement that we are able to announce the return our ‘Be More Tri’ Junior Tri Club sessions.

We are delighted to have secured a permanent home for the Club at Bircotes Leisure Centre (DN11 8EF), with swimming sessions taking place every Sunday 1pm-2pm starting on 7th November 2021.

The Club will provide the opportunity for children and young people of all abilities aged 7+ to get involved in the exciting sport of triathlon.

Sending a heartfelt thanks to the Bassetlaw Health Services Sports and Social Club for their incredibly kind and generous donation of £1200.

After over 40 years of organising trips, events and social opportunities for NHS staff across the Doncaster and Bassetlaw sites, it was incredibly to sad to hear that the Sports and Social Club had taken the difficult decision to close. The remaining funds held by the Club have been donated to a number of Charities, and the Be More Bailey Charitable Foundation is incredibly grateful to be one of those Charities selected by the Committee.

We are incredibly proud to share the amazing news that Rafi Solaiman has been selected to represent Great Britain at the World Para Athletics Championships in Dubai in November 2019. Rafi will be competing in the 100m RR3 RaceRunning event, and we all wish him lots of luck with his training as he prepares for the championships.

We are incredibly grateful to have been the chosen charity for the Bell Plumbing & Heating vs Bell Electrical Ryder Cup Golf Day 2019. Bailey had the pleasure of meeting everybody on the day and we would like to thank Colin, Daniel and Graham for inviting him along along to speak about the charity and for their amazing fundraising efforts. An incredible £2,500 was raised and we would like to thank everyone that was involved with the event for their support and generosity.

Great day at Superhero Tri where Bailey was a Celebrity Team Captain bringing home his team on the run leg following a fantastic swim by Katie (Luke’s TA who stepped up to do the swim leg after Luke fell ill before the start), and a top effort on bike by Lorenzo.

Bailey also completed an individual sprint event with his trusty sidekick Uncle Johnny!

We are incredibly proud of this amazing group of friends, who embarked on a 136 mile coast to coast cycle event raising funds for the Be More Bailey Charitable Foundation.

Justin, Christina, Deniz, Sal and Paul’s phenomenal effort raised almost £6,000 for the charity.

Thank you for your hard work both organising and completing the event and thank you to everyone who donated so generously.
