Thank you for taking the time to visit our Moor2Moor Challenge sponsorship page. On the first weekend in July 2011, over 50 participants from Deloitte and representatives from the South West Corporate Finance community will take part in this gruelling challenge to raise money for Hop Skip and Jump - a Bristol based charity that provides support to children and families with any type of special need.  Furthermore, your donation will also help support other local charities as Deloitte has agreed to match your funding to be shared with their three selected office charities. The Jessie May Trust       <a href="http://www.jessiemaytrust.org.uk/">http://www.jessiemaytrust.org.uk/</a> Brunel Care                      <a href="http://www.brunelcare.org.uk/">http://www.brunelcare.org.uk/</a> Bristol Soup Run              <a href="http://www.bristolsoupruntrust.org.uk/">http://www.bristolsoupruntrust.org.uk/</a>   About the challenge  The challenge involves 2 full days of strenuous activity - a 60 mile cycle across Dartmoor followed by a c.30 mile walk across Exmoor ending up in Lynmouth.   About Hop Skip and Jump The charity was established in February 2003 to provide a unique combination of specialist support, supervised play and day care for children and young people with any special need.  The centre is based in Bristol and is predominantly visited by families and groups from Bath & North East Somerset, Wiltshire, Somerset, Bristol and South Gloucestershire.   The centre also receives visits from people living much further afield including areas such as Devon and Cornwall.   Hundreds of children benefit from the services offered and the centre receives, on average, 10,400 visits per annum.   Hop Skip & Jump provides its services for free and therefore relies on donations to raise the £200,000 needed each year to keep the play centre running.  Your generous donation will make an enormous difference to a large number of people.
