Couple to Brave all Six Wildfox Events

Duncan Bury and Jane Buick will be taking part in this weekends Maggie’s Bike and Hike with their sight set on a Wildfox world record. They plan to run, cycle, swim and kayak 320 miles in their bid to complete all six of our charity challenges this summer.

Recently married in December 2010, the Edinburgh based couple dreamed up the idea on Valentines Day. “I signed Duncan up for the Great Kindrochit Quadrathlon as a valentines present,” said Jane. “It inspired us to complete all six events together.” 

Jane and Duncan first got involved with WildFox events after they completed the Rob Roy Challenge last year. “We are big supporters of some of the good caused, such as Mary’s Meals and Childline, that WildFox Events supports,” commented Duncan. Wildfox have raised more than £20 million pounds for charities in the past decade.

The couple have just got back to their Edinburgh home from a gruelling week of training in Fuerteventura. “We were running for miles along the beach in high temperatures and cooling off with long swims in the sea,” said Duncan. “Not a bad spot to get fit.”

With a total of six children between them and a business to run, the couple are running or cycling in every spare moment to get up to speed for their first event, the Maggies Bike and Hike at the end of April. Jane and Duncan run Miascape, a management consultancy aimed at transforming performance though insight.

Wildfox Events Director David Fox-Pitt commends Jane and Duncan for their commitment to the great outdoors and all the great charities that the events support. “It is wonderful to see Jane and Duncan’s enthusiasm and energy…please support them generously by making a donation to their record breaking WildFox challenge.”
