We work for Zurich Financial Services and several (insane!) members of our department have decided to undertake a ‘Cycle Challenge’ between the 12^th and the 15^th of August 2010 to raise money for Zurich Community Trust.

We will be cycling 350 miles across England and Wales and during the trip will climb the highest mountain in the Brecon Beacons and the highest mountain in Snowdonia! The route will start in Farnborough and take us to Fareham, Swindon, and Cardiff (some of Zurich's offices). Following Cardiff, we then start the arduous journey through a very hilly Wales!

Our motivation for this is 2-fold.  We want to undertake a stretching and rewarding challenge, but primarily we want to raise over £5000 for Zurich Community Trust, our staff-led charity fund.

Thank you, all donations are greatly appreciated.
