All over India
Two of Access Sport's current fundraising teams are the "Rickshaw runners" and the Indian Ocean 3100, who are both taking on the challenge of India, in one way or another. The Rickshaw run is travelling through India, from top to bottom, and the Indian Ocean 3100 team are rowing across the Indian Ocean!
The Rickshaw Run
The Rickshaw run is a journey from Northern India all the way down to the South.... In a Rickshaw. This great event is something that four intrepid Access Sport supporters have decided to take part in; Zinnia, Rob, Ross and Felicity. Throughout the year the team will be taking part in a variety of fundraising events, so if you can do pop in a say hello. You can find out more about the Rickshaw Run and the team by going to http://web.me.com/rickshawrun/2011/Homepage.html
During the summer the team Paddle Surfed their way from Henley to London - a really amazing effort – and had a pub quiz as part of their fundraising.
The Indian Ocean 3100
James Kayll, Tom Kelly, Ed Wells and Oliver Wells will be competing in the Indian Ocean Rowing Race 2011, consisting of a 3,100 mile crossing. The race starts from Geraldton, Western Australia in April and finishes in Mauritius. With a newly designed boat the crew aims to break the current record of just over 68 days.
Their main fundraising event for this challenge is the Indian Ocean Charity Ball, which will be held at the Hurlingham Club on the 29th October. Those of you who attended our annual dinner in 2009 will remember what a fantastic venue that is, so please do support their great efforts and click here for more information.
