Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our Vinci/WT Parker Just Giving page in support of the East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA) charity. This very worthwhile charity serves the area that all the team members live and mainly work in, and forms part of a country wide group of charities providing Air Ambulance support to the entire UK.

The Challenge
In continuation of our charity cycle event last year when we cycled a total of 220+ miles to all the main USAF bases in the south of England over a 3 day period, this year we have decided to attempt to cycle from the most northerly USAF Base (that we know of) at Menwith Hill, nr Harrogate North Yorkshire, back to our regional Vinci Facilities office in Mildenhall, Suffolk.

That's just short of 200 miles in one 24 hour period!

The team currently consists of 4 members, namely Matt Browne from WT Parkers, and James Coupe, Peter Hancock, Tim Colman from Vinci.

This challenge is scheduled to take place on Friday 14th August, but this is weather forecast dependant especially with the weather we seem to be getting this year!

This really is a mammoth challenge and one we are already finding daunting, so your kind donations are very much appreciated to make this a worthwhile event for a very worthwhile cause. Please note that there is no top limit on your donation just in case you didn't realise :0)

Hopefully we wont need to call EAAA out either during the challenge, as at a £2800 cost for each callout they attend, the money will soon run out.

Thanks for reading, caring, and donating.
