Story

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page for the 2004 Race the Sun challenge!

On Saturday 10th July 2004, our team - most of which are from the IT department of Aggregate Industries UK Ltd. - will attempt the "Race the Sun" challenge.

This entails the group completing the following three stages:

***Pedal Power : a 39 mile cycle ride
***Climbing Ability : the ascent and descent of Helvellyn
***Paddle Power : canoe the length of Coniston Water

All three stages must be completed within the hours of daylight between sunrise and sunset on one day!! So this will not only be a personal achievement for the group, but to make the ordeal worthwhile, the team would like to raise money for LOROS (Leicestershire and Rutland Organisation for the Relief of Suffering) charity. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: LOROS, the Leicestershire and Rutland Hospice 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 dig deep and please sponsor us now! Many thanks for your support.
