A group of friends from the North West will set out this week to train in the Himalayas ahead of an attempt to climb Mount Everest next year.

Tri-4-Life European Challenge 2003-06


Liverpool Heartbeat have supported Tri 4 Life through their many challenges. The European challenge began in 2006 with 3 years of fundraising, raising a total of £32,000 with £18,000 in kind totalling £50,000. This money was raised through Robin and Liam which also seen the two of them visiting schools in Newcastle, Liverpool, Telford, Cardiff, Bristol, Oxford, and the English-speaking school in Brussels reaching 10,000 young students with the Tri 4 life road show fronted by David Graham. All schools raised funding for a charity for their choice. We had a lot of support from Rotary with the Tri 4 Life team visiting over 60 Rotary clubs on their matrix journey. As can be seen in the attached photograph with the Rotary pendants above the team. 


Tri-4-Life USA Challenge 2012


This saw the Tri 4 Life senior and junior teams cycling from Washington DC to Los Angeles, 2800 miles across 10 states visiting 12 cities, gifting Liverpool Heartbeat globes of Liverpool City and presenting lifestyle shows along their journey. The event took 2 weeks raising the profile of John Hulley healthy lifestyles, Rotary Internation Project Polio Plus, and raising money for The Herbal Life Foundation.


Lesotho Challenge 2014 (Spitfire)


While the Tri 4 Life team competed in the Lesotho mountain sky mountain bike race, Liverpool Heartbeat secured 200 bikes from the Liverpool City Police and sent them by container along with a life-size model of a Spitfire plane. The reason for the Spitfire and the bikes were a thank you to Lesotho for providing 2 squadrons of Spitfires (24 in total) during the Second World War to help the war effort.


7 Extreme Swim Challenge 2016


While the Tri 4 Life team completed all these swims successfully, Liverpool Heartbeat provided 'The Dipper' minibus not only to help out with the swims but all of the challenges.


Four Peak Challenge 2017


The Tri 4 Life team successfully completed the 4 peak challenge and also swam the four biggest lakes in the vicinity using Liverpool Heartbeats minibus and performance studios minibus. At the start of the event, Robin and Bren provided a barbeque for all the junior and senior teams at the bottom of Snowdon.


British Virgin Island YEP (Youth Empowerment Project) 2018


The Tri 4 Life team as usual lead by Liam, visit the island or Tortilla in the British Virgin Islands after the island had been devastated by a hurricane, lending their support to let them know that we were all thinking about them and competed a programme of cycling and running with the YEP. Robin and Brenda sent out a sight box from St Vincent's visually impaired school in Liverpool and Liam and the team presented it to the YEP programme to be passed on to the blind school on the British Virgin Islands. 



Now reached the snow line and we are higher than Mont Blanc
