Zest 4 Leisure Iron Men in Poland

Zest 4 Leisure part of the multi award-winning P&A Group has pledged its support for Alzheimer’s Society and has been working hard to raise funds for this important cause. P&A Group’s Managing Director Steve Morgan and Landscaping and Timber Buildings Manager John Vaughan, went the extra mile for charity on Sunday 9th August by taking on their latest challenge – The 70.3 Gdynia Polish Iron Man Challenge.

Amazing results from both Charity Champions, completing within 10 minutes of each other in just over 5 and a half hours. Huge crowds were on hand to cheer them on in the scorching heat - finally reaching the finish line having completed the 1.9 km sea swim, 90 km cycle ride and finally the 21.1 km run. It was a proud moment for Steve and John when they completed the triathlon and collected their Iron Man Medals and Finisher’s shirts as it was all in aid of Alzheimer’s Society.
