Story
On the 26th of July 2014 we are taking part in the Cheshire Jail break in aid of Genesis Research Trust.
The event will begin from Risley Prison at 10am and teams have 10 hours to get from Risley Prison back to HQ Base at The Black Swan, Rixton by 8pm covering as many miles as possible without using a penny of their own money.
The team’s distances will be measured by UFindIT apps measuring distances covered.
Each team will be competing for one of three prizes for the following:
• The team which covers the furthest distance
• The team which returns with the most unique/ inventive mystery prize for the mystery raffle.
• The team which raises the most money for the charity along the way.
Our aim is to raise funds for two local ladies -
Juliette Hassell and Zoe Atherton, in aid of Genesis Research Trust, to help improve the lives of women and babies worldwide.
In November 2014, the ladies will join Professor Robert Winston’s Women for Women Cycle Challenge to Tanzania and Zanzibar to raise money to fund medical research into the prevention, diagnosis & treatment of a range of devastating conditions such as miscarriage, premature birth, brain damage & cancer.
This is a charity, which is very close to both ladies hearts, and has touched their lives in different ways. Women for Women is the name of the challenge and is administered by Genesis Research Trust.
Professor Winston is Chairman of both the Trust and Women for Women, for more information visit:

The ladies need to raise a minimum of £6,200 to take part in the cycle challenge. The cycle will take them 350kms over 5 days from Dar es Salaam in Tanzania to Stone town on Zanzibar Island.
Teams will be welcomed back to our Cheshire Jail Break party at hosts The Black Swan, Rixton for an afternoon/evening of family fun with Wire FM broadcasting live from the event.
This will be a real community event and we need your help to make it a real success!
Awesome have already donated 1000 pounds to the charity and are taking part in the event, and now we are looking to you to help us fundraise for this great cause.
