Thanks for visiting our fundraising page. 

We are a team of four (Paul Clements, Jason Freeth, Richard Parker and Colin Seward) participating in the Irish Challenge 2010 on September 30th to October 2nd. 


The Irish Challenge is a three day event in which we’ll be cycling 500 miles in relay from Cork to Dublin taking in some spectacular scenery and most probably challenging whether conditions as we wind our way West to the Atlantic coast before heading to Galway and finally to Dublin. You can find more information on the event and route here --> http://www.challengeadventurecharities.org.uk/Challenges/The+Irish+Challenge+2010.aspx 
Throughout the event we will be regularly keeping you updated through a number of technologies our facebook and twitter pages (ask us for details) and back by popular demand our regular blog http://irishchallenge2010.blogspot.com/ and to give you a flavor of the event the past two years blogs can be accessed at

Our aim is to raise £2000 for charity and we need your help to reach that target, this year half of all we raise will be sent to the charity of our choice which this year is DebRA. The remaining half will be donated to two charities regularly supported by the event charity - Cancer Research UK and the British Heart Foundation with 100% of what we raise going to these very worthwhile causes.

DebRA is an national charity working on behalf of people in the UK with the genetic skin blistering condition Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a very rare genetic condition in which the skin and internal body linings blister at the slightest knock or rub, causing painful, open wounds. People with the more severe types of EB also have an exceptionally high risk of developing skin cancers, shortening their lives by approximately 30-40 years. In its most severe form, the condition is fatal in infancy. Whilst considerable progress has been made in recent years in understanding EB and identifying the genes that cause the condition, there is as yet no effective treatment or a cure.


Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Challenge Adventure Charities gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thank you for your support and keep up to date on our progress via the blog.
