Your Team from SWIP are stepping up and taking part in this year’s Artemis 100 Highland Challenge on the 12 September 2009.
The Artemis Highland 100 is a stunning cycle route encompassing some of the most spectacular and historic areas of the Scottish Highlands. There are three challenging routes ranging from 53 miles to a huge 82 miles, all to be completed within 12 hours. The Team are going for gold and taking on the 82 mile challenge. Crazy? I think so… or maybe we’re just cycle-paths…geddit?
Your team are:
Donna Scott, Michael Bargh, Hilary O'Connor, Kevin Walker, Mike Jowitt, Ewan Stewart, Matthew Payne, Richard Allan, Jeff King, Steven King, Mark Henzell, Audra Edgar, John Brett, Neil Falconer, John Myburgh, Gill Hood, Tony Woolley, Colin Beveridge, Alan Thompson and Steve Bennett.
We’re raising money for Cancer Research UK and the Children’s Hospice Association (CHAS). Cancer Research is the world’s leading charity dedicated to cancer research and their work has saved hundreds of thousands of lives The Children’s Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS) is a Scottish charity established to provide hospice services in for children with life-limiting conditions.
We’re asking for your support to help us raise funds for these charities. Each penny raised goes a long way to helping these charities carry out their vital work and represents a step forward in cancer research and the provision of hospice services for Scottish children with life-limiting conditions.
