blog: Pembrokeshire 140 – Let the training begin!
Wednesday 12th August 2015
As a sustainable transport consultancy, we know how important it is to provide good transport links to connect people with basic services and jobs. However, in Africa the lack of accessible and safe transport means poor access to healthcare, education and jobs is having a detrimental impact on the livelihoods of many people. We want to help address this and are long-term supporters of Transaid (www.transaid.org) - the charity that aims to improve lives across Africa through creating better transport.
So at the end of September, we will be dusting off our bikes and digging out our trainers to take part in a gruelling 3-day challenge to raise money for both Transaid and the NSPCC (www.nspcc.org.uk). Our Pembrokeshire 140 will involve a team of 24 of us walking, running and cycling 140 miles through the beautiful, if scarily hilly, countryside of the far south-west corner of Wales. Were aiming to raise £5,000 through a series of fund-raising activities and sponsorship associated with the challenge.
You'll be hearing more about our preparation for the event over the coming months. If you would like to make a donation to push us that little bit closer to achieving our fundraising target please visit our Virgin Money Giving page
