Forthcoming Events
The Emily Ash Trust hosts excellent events to help raise funds, raise awareness and to have fun. Please see our forthcoming events and contact us to place bookings if you would like to join in and help to make a difference.
Tri for Life – Sunday 5th September 2010
We are a partner in this fabulous fund raising idea, set up by the late Harvey Selby. He saw the opportunity to combine the fastest growing sport with that of raising money for charities and set up Tri for Life. It is an event for all the family; it’s fun energetic but with a serious goal, to raise money for those in need. The next event takes place on the Sunday 5th September, at Eton College Boating House, Dorney Lake, Eton and Windsor.
Tri-for-life raises funds for nine different charities and have this year formed partnerships with a number of charities, The Emily Ash Trust being one.
With a choice of two distances either 400m swim, 5K run and 20K cycle or an 800m swim, 30K cycle and a 7.5K, enter as an individual or a team. There is also a Scootathlon for children between 4 and 8 so everyone can take part! If you wish to enter as part of the Emily Ash Trust team please email us for a PIN number that you can use to register @: www.triforlife.co.uk

On the same day that the Emily Ash Team will be completing their triathlon, Emilie Saintas & Kerrie Power will be running around Paris for us!
'THE LANDMARKS OF PARIS RUN' for the EMILY ASH TRUST - September 5th 2010
In September 2009, Emily completed her first triathlon for The Emily Ash Trust supported by her boyfriend and best friend Kerrie. This was after a long battle with cancer and proved that she had fully recovered and had won her fight against a disease that had put her life on hold. We were determined to do the Triathlon together in 2010. This year however, as both of us are in Paris during the Triathlon we decided to attempt our own charity run and to add a certain ‘je ne c’est quoi’ to our usual running gear!
So, in September we shall be running 12K in Paris through many of its famous monuments and sites. These include the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, The Louvre and many more and we will be finishing at the Arc d’triomphe.
Traditional French attire shall be donned during our run as we shall be wearing berets and stripy tops with the Emily Ash logo and moustaches if they stay on! We’ll be taking pictures of ourselves outside each monument which will be uploaded onto the Emily Ash website so you can all laugh at us looking like idiots and be supporting an absolutely fantastic cause. Please support Emilie & Kerrie in this fantastic fundraising effort by visiting their Justgiving page: details to follow
Annual Fundraising Ball – Saturday 18th September 2010
Following the success of our fantastic James Bond themed Ball last year we have chosen an even more glamourous theme for this year. Our 'OSCARS' themed Ball will take place on Saturday 18th September and will be held at the Copthorne Hotel, Effingham, Gatwick.
There will be live music, themed entertainment and a 3 course meal. Tickets cost £75 per person. Come and join us for what promises to be a fabulous evening.
