‘1000 KICKS
TO CANCER’
To achieve
a Black Belt in a martial art takes years for dedication
and determination, but for 30 students of Leadership
Martial Arts, coming from the Schools in Swindon
and Lyneham they have been set a task to take them way
beyond
their
usual dedication. Their Master Instructor, John Danby,
explains:
‘Every six months we have a Black Belt
Graduation, This is the culmination of months of training
and a four
week assessment period. I decided a couple of years ago
that we should dedicate some of our time and effort to
assisting others. Our only reward is the satisfaction that
we gave something for nothing.
I recently found out that it costs over £10,000.00
a day to keep the Prospect
Hospice open. It seemed only
right that we should do our part to give something to those
who need our help the most.
The goal for each of the Students taking part in the Black
Belt Graduation is to raise £150 each in sponsorship,
for which they must complete 1000 kicks. This is a major
physical challenge at the best of times, but add in the
fact that they will have just completed four hours of testing
before hand! I’m sure you will agree that it
takes dedication not to quit! This is the first time I
have set such a tough physical task and it has been amazing
to watch the students rise to the challenge.
Ranging in
age from 9 to 48 years they have all pushed themselves
to raise the money and prepare for the days
events. I am proud of them all’ The Graduation will take place at Stratton Community Leisure
Centre, Grange Drive, Swindon, on Sunday 20th May 2007
at approximately 1pm.
