In mid June, a squad of 35 Accenturites will down their laptops and spreadhseets to committ themselves to four days (and nights!) of sweat, toil, brain strain and hopefully success in the Microsoft UK Challenge. The five teams will pit themselves against other corporate teams in a multi-stage event including running, cycling, canoeing, swimming and climbing their way around and over the Welsh Cambrian mountains whilst code-cracking, puzzle-solving, navigating and being strategic and cunning!!

Apart from the hard graft, there is a further element to this challenge - we have pledged to raise £10,000 for the NSPCC, to help them achieve their goal of making life easier for all those kids in the UK who are experiencing child abuse in its many forms. We would be really grateful if you would support us and the NSPCC by sponsoring us online.

Summer is on it's way so help your way to bikini body or six-pack perfection by forgoing just one pint and packet of crisps and donate that to our cause; you'll be helping yourself, helping us, but most importantly helping some young long-suffering kids at the same time.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure and also saves us having to chase you for the cash afterwards!! It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: NSPCC will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor us now! Many thanks for your support :) Team: Royce Bell, Mark Lillie, Mike Russell, Maureen Costello, David Cain, James Warburton, Geoff Maitland-Jones, Jemma Holland, Adam Malski, Leo Muid, Chris Pollard, Alex Guise, Andre Malan, Ruth Hetherington, Jonathan Fairs, Andrew Waterston, Steve Loom, Claire Aspinall, Michael Rolf, Matthew Martin, Jonathan Pollard, Stuart Husselbee, Shelly MacPhail, Stuart Neumann, Richard Norris, Karen Lewis, Alan Moser, Anya Davis, Adam Mason, Steve Airey, Madeline Lewis, Sean O'Connaire, Tom Powell and Katie Crowe!
