Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">On 2nd and 3rd June 2012 Benjamin Smith, Graeme Goulson, Ross Hawkes and Lee Hawkes will be taking part in '<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">The Kilworth Challenge</span></strong>'; a gruelling 2 day charity event that makes Total Wipe Out look like Pat Sharp&rsquo;s Fun House. This year all money raised for the Kilworth Challenge will go towards the following charities; Dukes Barn &ndash; www.dukesbarn.org, Leicestershire Clubs for Young People &ndash; www.lcyp.org.uk and Over The Wall &ndash; www.otw.org.uk. Money raised will also go towards local beneficiaries in and around the Kilworth area.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">During the 2 day event each of the 45 participating teams will walk a course of some 30 miles and at intervals at approximately every mile will be expected to perform a team challenge. Challenges range in difficulty and type from obstacle courses and crossing lakes to mentally taxing word games and puzzles, all testing the 4 man team&rsquo;s physical and mental ability. In preparation for the Kilworth Challenge the 4 of us will be enduring long runs, gym sessions, sudoku puzzles and colour by numbers tasks to ensure we can finish as high in the rankings as possible. Please take a minute to visit the Kilworth Challenge website to see what it&rsquo;s all about http://thekilworthchallenge.org/.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">We know times are hard at the moment but we&rsquo;d like you to sponsor us and donate anything you can, even if it&rsquo;s just &pound;1, it&rsquo;s another pound closer to our overall goal. Over the next few months we will be participating in additional fund raising activities to raise an extra few &pound;&rsquo;s. You&rsquo;ll be amazed at the lengths we will go to in order to raise more money and will be updating this page in the near future with info on such activities. Jumba may even be willing to do your ironing for you in return for a charitable donation.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">We thank you all for your time in reading this and for sponsoring us if you chose to do so.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Ben, Graeme, Lee, Ross x</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
