SEESA has been a loyal supporter of the Ironman4theKidz foundation for years as it is a passion we share and a cause we feel strongly about.
Over the next few weeks, we would like to acknowledge SEESA’s athletes who participated in various Ironman events in support of the Ironman4theKidz initiative.
SEESA’s athlete of the week
Iain Peterkin started his career at SEESA in 2016 and is currently a qualified Skills Development Facilitator at SEESA’s Skills Training Department in Pretoria. He competed in the Ironman 70.3 event in East London and Durban in support of the Ironman4theKidz initiative.
1.In what Ironman event/s did you compete?
I competed in the Ironman 70.3 event in East London and Durban. I also had the opportunity to compete in the 70.3 World Championship when Ironman hosted the event in Port Elizabeth.
2.Why Ironman?
It is a perfect fit for my lifestyle, love the feeling of being around like-minded people.
3.Why did you choose to support Team Orange?
The Pre-race pasta party for Team Orange! In all seriousness though, follow Ironman4theKidz on Facebook and Instagram to see the good work that they are doing. All funding received is used to improve the lives and needs of the kids in the NPO’s they support.
4.Any thoughts/stories to share competing in your “Lumo Orange” Ironman4theKidz vest?
Somehow it seems that you just have so many more supporters when you wear that orange vest – everyone cheers extra loud!
5.What fitness tip would you share?
Racing is not my goal, living a fit and healthy lifestyle is. This allows me to not take myself too seriously come race day and have fun.
We would like to encourage our clients to get involved and support Ironman4theKidz and what they stand for. It is an extremely humbling experience to be part of something that means so much to the most vulnerable in society, namely our kids and something we are proud of every day.
