On 23rd - 25th September, our RSM team of 4 will be participating in the 2016 Extra Mile Lake Geneva Challenge, requiring us to jointly cover 500 miles of challenging mountain routes in 3 days.

Our route will take us through the Vosges region of France, tracking the Rhine, along the German-French Border, before reaching our final stop in Montreux, on the shore of Lake Geneva in Switzerland.

We are delighted to announce that in addition to the 25% of raised funds that go the Extra Mile charities and Rotary Charitable Funds, 75% of our money raised will be split between our chosen charities of Willen Hospice and NANNA (see below).

Any support you are able to offer, no matter how small,  towards our £1,200 target for these great causes would be hugely appreciated by both us and the charities themselves.

Updates to follow!

Willen Hospice

Based at a peaceful lakeside location in Milton Keynes, Willen Hospice is an independent charity offering specialist care to individuals with life limiting illnesses.

Willen Hospice offers an inpatient unit for patients to stay at the Hospice, a dedicated community team of Clinical Nurse Specialists and Hospice at Home staff, a Patient & Family Services team offering bereavement support and a drop-in Wellbeing Centre giving those not staying at the Hospice access to thier services.

All services are offered free of charge and to continue to offer the care they do, they need to raise £3.6 million every year – that works out at around £7 a minute every single minute from January 1^st to 31^st December.
