Thank you for taking the time to visit Team Rigel's just giving donations page.
We thought it was about time we did something for a good cause and raise money for charity in a rather different way.
Firstly we decided to raise funds for the Sailors Society being a charity close to our hearts in the shipping community and aim to raise a figure of £ 3,000, or more.
Secondly we decided to raise this money by entering a team of four of us into the 'Wilderness Challenge' to be held in the Cairngorms National Park, Scotland on the 26th September 2010. This involves a 50k bike ride, a 3k canoe paddle and a 10k run up a 800m hill (which i would prefer to call a mountain) which we must tackle as a team and we will also need skills in navigation as well.
We hope you will be able to support us generously in our quest and sponsor us for this worthy cause which will contribute towards enriching the well being of sea-farers across the world.
Thank you for your generosity in advance....
Philip Banks, Mark Stafford, Paul Farren and Tom Nunn
