Story

In a moment of false confidence, both Simon 'Badger' Fairchild and Joe Fox accepted a client challenge to cycle 90 miles between Tewkesbury and Bridgwater on 7 March 2016 (yes - in three weeks time!).

The UNITE team is doing a longer challenge from John O'Groats to Lands End in 12 days. This is 1,052 miles, no doubt a lot of wind & rain, most likely some snow, hopefully some sunshine and definitely some great scenery (35,000+ feet of climbing (more than Everest)). Thankfully, Simon and I only accepted the challenge for one day!

UNITE Students are  hoping to achieve a massive £250,000 donation for Sport Relief. Simon and I are hoping to raise £5,000 to contribute to that...

To give you a sense of what that can provide;

  • £7,500 - could provide business training and resources for eight young people in the UK to help them set up a social enterprise and improve their local community
  • £5,000 - could provide a year's one-to-one support and group sessions for seven teenage carers in the UK, helping them to manage their caring responsibilities, do well in school, socialise and keep active
