KAREN Openshaw is a remarkable woman.
It’s not enough just to have a “day job” as head of development and partnerships at charity Zac’s Youth Bar in Farnworth, working with over 1,500 young people offering a range of activities and support.
Now, at 50 and never having run for more than the bus, she’s taking part in her first triathlon - 500-metre swim, 20km cycle and 5km run - to help with fundraising to keep Zac’s going.
She’s always positive and encouraging and is determined to complete the course and raise money.
What a role model! Support her at everyclick.com/firsttriathlon
