We know how you guys love a 24hr challenge... last weekend one of our swimmers (Andrew) took to the roads and cycled the total height of Everest, non-stop, over a distance of more than 260 miles in a mammoth challenge to again raise money for charity. The event was a huge success having finished in 21.5hrs, and he is so close to his fundraising target. For those who want, you can still donate and find out more about the charities here, http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/andrewwhiteley and Andrew passes on his thanks for the support!

It was 3 months ago that we undertook this gruelling challenge – a few donations have still been coming in, and taking the Gift Aid into consideration, we’re now near the £5000 mark!! This has been an amazing effort by everyone involved, and we’d just like to extend our thanks once again.
