RAISE MAGAZINE - ride2raise September 2010

ride2raise is a bike challenge taking place this month. It will promote cycling to community groups as a healthy and eco-friendly way to fundraise - while aiming to raise at least ten thousand pounds for distribution to a select number of deserving charities, including AFTAID.
ride2raise features a team of six amateur cyclists riding a six hundred mile route from Box Hill near Dorking, Surrey, to the highest point in Edinburgh, Arthurs Seat. They aim to complete this endeavor in just six days!

ride2raise is organised by RAISE magazine (see our Business Support section), the UK's highest circulating community fundraising magazine and is supported by Club Together a leading association and social networking website for various groups.

Among the aims of the endeavour is to "Reward local Charity Heroes and promote the causes and charities they support".

Full details of the project can be found at the ride2raise website which provides all the details.
