Story

Cambridge to Casablanca - July 2010

In July 2010 we will be embarking on a cycle of around 2000 miles from Cambridge, England to Casablanca Morocco. Our trip will take us to from Cambridge to the south coast, across The Channel, down the West coast of France, over the arduous Pyrenees, onwards through the searing mid-summer heat of Spain and Gibraltar and finally from northern Morocco to our final destination; Casablanca.


The trip has been planned with two aims in mind. Firstly, to raise money for a valuable cause we all feel passionately about, and secondly a search for an extreme physical and mental challenge. Indeed, all the group were looking for a suitably big adventure to mark the end of their university days.


The chosen charity for our trip is The Sick Children's Trust. It aims to provide high quality 'Home from Home' accommodation for families to be near their children while they receive hospital treatment for serious illness. We were drawn to the charity because they operate a tried, tested and proven formula, which helps over 4000 families every year. Most importantly, you know exactly where your donations are going.


Any donation, however small, will be greatly appreciated!
