The NSPCC is looking for people in Borehamwood to take part in a challenge with a difference and help raise vital funding for children and young people. ‘Chasing the Sun’ involves a bike, hike and canoe in the stunning surroundings of the Lake District — all between sunrise and sunset on May 30, 2015.

This is an exciting event in some of the most picturesque surroundings in the UK.

It’s quite different from other fundraising activities as it offers a chance to participate in a variety of activities which we hope will appeal to a range of people. Hiking, kayaking and cycling are also some of the best ways to explore the Lake District.

We would urge anyone who fancies a challenge with a difference to sign up to take part so that we can continue to raise vital funds for our local services which offer a lifeline to children and young people in Hertsmere.

This event is designed for teams of two, but individual registrations are also being accepted. To enter, participants need to commit to the following: • Registration fee: £39 per person • Minimum sponsorship: £350 per person.

To register or to find out more, visit www.nspcc.org.uk/chasingthesun or call 0844 892 1119. You can also visit us on Facebook.
