Quotes: #TeamAngelWolf, TribeWatson, reaching you
“When Rio was born, he changed our lives and directed our destiny. We want Rio to have the opportunity to try everything in life, just like any other abled person can do. I love triathlon, it is my sport, so to take Rio around this endurance course excites me; yes it will be hard and a challenge, but I know it will give Rio such delight to be part of it. It is something he would never be capable to do alone independently. As a family will plan to do many more events with Rio in the future -
our daughter (Tia Watson, 7 years old) is already planning to do The Colour Run pushing him along the run, and my wife (Delphine Watson) will do running races with him. We are truly grateful to Adventure HQ and RaceME Events making this possible for us to do. If this can help bring awareness and integration of children with special needs, plus promote the sport, then I will be a happy man. I hope people come to cheer Rio on.” said Nick Watson. Adventure HQ Quote: “Adventure HQ are extremely proud to be part of this monumental event as the Watson family are a true inspiration and we are thankful to be involved. As an Ironman finisher myself, I know what it takes to undertake such a challenge, albeit solo, but to do it with an 11 year old in tow is something completely different and a load more challenging. I personally can't wait to see the smile on Rio's face and to be part of a life changing experience for the Watson Tribe. Go #TeamAngelWolf……. let's do this!! All of the Adventure HQ crew are behind you 100%.” said Sam Whittam, CEO Adventure HQ.
