All attending were invited to donate £5 and take a plunge in one of three available ice bath’s at “Breth Performance & Recovery” based on the outskirts of the village of Creaton, Northants. Two of tubs were set to a frigid 5’ one a mildly less frigid 8’. Gerry and the IceBath.co team were on hand to coach breathing techniques and support those brave enough to take the plunge. The event took place on new years day between 9.00 a.m. and 11.00 a.m. however some particularly keen individuals where there at 8.30 a.m.!
Gerry commented “We were very pleased and how the day went. We weren't too sure how many people would turn up. Having almost 80 people come through the doors over the two hours and raising £400 was totally unexpected. This was the first time we have done anything like this, I think the word will now spread and this can grow year on year. We were very overwhelmed by how many turned up, quite a lot of Freemasons and their families, which was good to see. A lot of people got benefits from the day, we have had lots of phone calls and inquiries about ice baths and if we will run the event again in the future. There were quite a few people also inquiring about the charity, what the charity does and where it was based. So, I think a great day all around for IceBath.co but also for the awareness of the Three Pillars Charity.
Maybe someone from the Three Pillars can collect the cheque from us in person and we can hand it to them whilst sat in an ice bath!”
