We've joined together to raise money for The Air Ambulance - one of Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team's chosen charities for 2016, and The Ben Nevis Challenge is just one of our fundraising events organised for empolyees, our friends and families - It's our chance to make a difference.

Our Team name (Blitzen Benz) is in honour of the first Mercedes Formula One car from 1901, although we definately won't be as fast but our combined ages could be somewhere close!!

The challenge consists of:

• Climbing Ben Nevis
• Cycling 15miles
• Canoeing 3k
• Cycling 10miles
• Followed by a hot soak and a few drinks :-)

Not sure why there is a mixture of units of measurement, but hey, who cares..... it's going to hurt whichever way you look at it.

As a team we need to raise £2500 and every donation counts. We're just pleased that you're considering donating, or you wouldn't be reading this!

Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity.
