Gearing Up For Eilat Triathlon
Having not ridden a bike for over 20 years, it's safe to say that Karin Hirsch surprised her family and friends when she announced that she was going to take part in the Eilat Triathlon for special needs charity Kisharon.
Having completed the London Marathon in April, the 50-year-old mother of two has decided to head down to Southern Israel for the annual event training up to five times a week to ensure she's in prime condition.

Leading by example, Dr Beverley Jacobson, Chief Executive of Kisharon, will also be taking part. She says: "maintaining a balance between the needs of the charity, my own family and the training required has been somewhat demanding, but I am passionate about the cause and will always go that extra mile!"
Director of Kisharon and Chairman of the Triathlon Committee, Simon Bentley will also be participating together with his brothers Jeremy and Ralph, son-in-law David Nussbaum and daughter Tanya.
Juliet Moss, Director of Fundraising, said: "Kisharon provides a lifeline of support to so many vulnerable people in the community and I am so grateful for the commitment that our special team of triathletes has made to raise much needed funds to ensure the continued provision of these services."
