PSS Team Wales Skate-athon

What started as a team building activity for our Wales team has now become a fundraising challenge that will go towards christmas celebrations for the people who use our services across North Wales which include Shared Lives and Trio.

‘I do roller derby and heard about the marathon and thought it would be a good challenge for everyone.’ explained Shared Lives Development Worker Sarah Zielonka. ‘I’ve managed to rope three of my team into joining up and they’ll be doing the 26 miles between them. They’ve not skated since they were kids so the whole thing would be too much at this stage, and at just under 9 miles each, it’s still a massive challenge. As I’m bit more experienced I’m going to attempt the whole thing.’

The team will be skating on 11th October at the Marsh Tracks in Rhyl. You can find out more about the event on their website. ‘We want to raise £500 but the more the better!’ says Team Wales Apprentice Ross ‘That amount would mean a present for each person and a small party too’
