Well, it&rsquo;s actually the whole of the Bridges Ventures Team.</span></span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: normal; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot;"><span style="font-size: small;">To mark our <strong>10th Anniversary</strong>, we wanted to set ourselves a challenge. How far can the Bridges team travel purely through &ldquo;<strong>human power</strong>&rdquo; in six months? Our aim is to run, walk, cycle and swim a combined total of <strong>20,000 km</strong>, the approximate equivalent distance of travelling <strong>pole to pole</strong>, from March to September 2012. Through this challenge we hope to reduce our carbon footprint, get ourselves fitter and, most importantly, raise money for our chosen charity, <strong><a href="http://www.springboard.org.uk/"><span style="color: blue;">Springboard</span></a></strong>.
