The Housing Units Big 75 Challenge
Fundraising for Kidscan
Story
Housing Units turns 75 this year. We have lots of activity planned to mark this special occasion, but felt it would be extra special if we could use it to help those less fortunate.
We continue to support Kidscan, a fabulous, local children’s cancer charity who are doing remarkable things to help children with cancer to survive and thrive. We couldn’t possibly ask for donations without setting a ridiculous challenge for our team to complete! Following on from our Big 70 challenge in 2017 and fitting with the 75-year theme, we came up with the idea of completing a 75-mile Summit to Sea Triathalon on the 17th June, which comprises the following:
- Leg one- 20 mile mountain run across Striding Edge
- Leg two - Cycle 49 miles across Wrynose & Hardknott Pass
- Leg three - Relay swimming 6 miles of Lake Windermere
As you can appreciate, the thought of this challenge is quite daunting to say the least!
Participants: Nick Fox, Richard Newson, Karl Shackley, Matt Embury, Darren Anderson, Stuart Barber & Nick Halliday
We believe this madness is deserving of donations towards Kidscan! We have set a target of raising over £10,000 from this unique event, which will all go towards helping children with cancer. Any gesture would be very much appreciated.
