Being a mum is a 24\/7 job, so why not give your mum a break this Mother\u2019s Day by treating her to the ultimate adventure that she\u2019ll remember for years to come!<\/p>\n
They say that it\u2019s the thought that counts, but what your mum is really after is a truly memorable experience. Sure, you might feel tempted to purchase the bog standard chocolates and flowers for the fifth year running, but that\u2019s not exactly original now, is it?<\/p>\n
Looking for some inspiration? Here\u2019s just some of the mums that have merged their sporting passions with their mothering duties.<\/p>\n
Katie Chapman<\/b><\/p>\n
\n
One of the first ever mums to combine the commitments of professional Women\u2019s Football with the tireless act of raising her three children. She\u2019s even said that having kids has helped her improve her fitness \u2013 proving that having the huge responsibility of bringing up her children didn\u2019t mean that she\u2019d have to give up her sporting ambitions.<\/p>\n
Katie has appeared 94 times for the Women\u2019s England National Team, scoring 8 times. Not only that, she has played for the likes of world renowned clubs such as Chelsea and Arsenal \u2013 picking up numerous honours along the way, including an FA Women\u2019s Cup winner\u2019s medal on no less than nine occasions!<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t think your mum has what it takes to become the next Women\u2019s Footballing sensation? Then why not immerse her in the thrilling variation of the beautiful game in an action sporting craze which is sweeping the nation \u2013 bubble football<\/a>. This hilariously fun activity will see your mum go head to head with her friends and family whilst in a giant Zorb ball, aiming to claim victory at the same time as she avoids hitting the deck!<\/p>\n Bethany Hamilton<\/b><\/p>\n A truly inspirational character amongst female sporting stars, Bethany has firmly established herself as one of the greatest women surfers the sport has ever known. But, it didn\u2019t come easy, as she lost her left arm in a horrific shark attack back in 2003, when she was aged just 13. However, she didn\u2019t let that stop her from participating in the thing she loved above anything else \u2013 getting back on her surfboard just a month after losing a limb.<\/p>\n Ever since then, she\u2019s enjoyed a glittering career, earning major honours such as becoming a champion in the 2005 NSSA National Helping Kids competition, in addition to a 2nd<\/sup> placed finish in the ASP World Junior Championships in 2008.<\/p>\n In 2015, Bethany gave birth to her first child and is currently expecting her second child later this year. Despite becoming a mother for the first time 3 years ago, she went on to compete in two competitions, including the 2015 Snatch Women\u2019s Pro, and 2016 Fiji Women\u2019s Pro, where she finished in 13th<\/sup> and 3rd<\/sup> positions respectively.<\/p>\n Do you think your Mum would like to hit the waves this Mother\u2019s Day? Then we have a range of magnificent beginner-friendly surfing<\/a> venues that will allow them to do just that!<\/p>\n Megan Pischke Porcheron<\/b><\/p>\n \n Not only has Megan Pischke Porcheron combined a professional snowboarding career with her duties as a mother, but she\u2019s also managed to emerge victorious in her battle against stage-3 breast cancer.<\/p>\n Throughout her 20 year snowboarding career, she encountered not only early slopestyle courses at the Winter X Games, but also she\u2019s managed to keep up her love for activities such as trail running \u2013 all whilst performing the full time job that comes with being a mother. As well as this, she\u2019s even become an ambassador for the B4BC (Boarding For Breast Cancer) \u2013 a truly inspirational organisation which increases awareness of breast cancer across the world.<\/p>\n If you think your Mum could follow in the footsteps of Megan and take to the slopes, then we have a number of amazing snowboarding<\/a> venues on offer which might just be on your doorstep, meaning she won\u2019t even need to head on over the Alps anytime soon!<\/p>\n Why Your Mum Would Love to Try Some Adventure Sports<\/b><\/p>\n With over 75 activities on offer \u2013 everything from the highs of Hot Air Ballooning<\/a> to the lows of Surfing<\/a>, there\u2019s plenty of activities that would make the perfect gift for your mum this Mother\u2019s Day!
