Ben Trend Get Involved
The foundation was formed in 2010 following Ben’s death, the idea being to provide funding to support individuals and/or organisations involved in sport in the Fylde Coast area where Ben grew up, and also in the South West of London, where Ben lived for the last eight years of his life.
Who was Ben Trend?
A legend and a mad keen sportsman.
Born in Blackpool in March 1980, studied at Arnold School followed by the University of Gloucestershire.
Having gained his degree he moved to Wimbledon, London working as a personal trainer in the fitness industry, where he met his wife, Verena.
He died in a tragic accident whilst on holiday in South Africa with Ve and several friends in April 2010 just after his 30th birthday.
He was a keen endurance runner and participated in many long-distance running events, raising money for various charities along the way.
Ben Trend Get Involved aims to sponsor and support those in the sporting community in memory of a great man, Ben Trend.
