Bradley Hosking’s Tour of Duty

April 16, 2010

Some of you may know or have heard of Bradley Hoskings. He was the first age grouper, and 8th overall at Ironman Western Australia in December in 8.52. He gave so much on race day that he ended up on crutches the following day! He’s represented Australia 5 times on the Big Island. He is one of Australia’s best age group athletes…

Brad is also a father and a firefighter, an asset and an outstanding role model in his local community. Brad has been selected to take part in the “Tour of Duty” a team run from LA to New York! The aim?

To honour the 411 emergency workers who gave their lives on Sept 11th 2001.
To raise awareness of the role emergency workers play within our society
To raise funds in Brad’s case – The Princess Margaret Children’s Burns unit.

As a firefighter Brad has seen first hand the life altering impact of fire. For this reason he has chosen The Princess Margaret Children’s Burn Unit as the recipient for his fundraising…

“As human beings we can either relate first hand or at least empathise with the intense pain and ongoing suffering associated with burns injuries; pain you wouldn’t wish on your enemy let alone a child.

With this simple humanitarian understanding I implore you to get behind the TOD run; know what it is we firefighters do and support our efforts to ease the suffering of these child burns victims by giving whatever you are able, no matter how small or large.” Bradley Hosking

Support Brad by donating $s time or services, items for auction or simply by spreading the word.

Thanks
