Hi All!   The Cheapflights team will be taking on its charity walk challenge for the third year in a row now and we’ll be needing some kind encouragement to keep us on our feet – literally!     For this year’s challenge the focus is on two main themes; first is the challenge itself and I can’t stress “challenge” enough, and the second is making it as inclusive as possible.   There are three challenge options to choose from including: <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; text-indent: -18pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 38.25pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">·         A 12 mile walk to be completed in 4 hours <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; text-indent: -18pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 38.25pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">·         A 22 mile walk to be completed in 8 hours <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; text-indent: -18pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 38.25pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">·         A 45 mile walk to be completed in 16 hours.    Those undertaking the 45 miler will start walking on Friday 8 June at 11.00pm and will then be joined by those undertaking the 22 miler on Saturday 9 June at 7.00am and finally, later that day, joining the 12 mile walkers at about mid-day. Our entire journey starts in Wendover and ends in London’s Little Venice.

We have named the challenge after our colleague Simon Bicket who sadly passed away suddenly last year.  Simon was an avid supporter of charity challenges at work and in his personal life, and we are dedicating this challenge to him by supporting his charity of choice, the CareFree Northants.   Our goal for this challenge is to raise money for the Carefree Northants, which was established to improve the health, quality of life and prospects of those suffering with learning disabilities in order to give them the confidence they need to plan for their own futures. To learn more about the charity, please visit <a href="http://carefreenorthants.com/">http://carefreenorthants.com/</a> .   Our fundraising aim is to reach £10,000. We hope to do so through the following means:   ·         Cheaplfights contribution – will match up to a max of £250 per person ·         Kind support from your generous donations. Any amount is worthwhile and will be much appreciated whether small or large     We thank you in advance for any help you’d like to offer and we look forward to reporting how much we’ve raised! <span style="font-family: Wingdings; color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J
