BIKE COAST TO COAST in July

A Mighty HIKE IN AUGUST

June Challenge

10k Steps a Day.

Unfit and Overworked

Having spent the last decade behind a desk, our MD, Neil Purdie didn’t manage last year’s Mighty Hike, and he doesn’t think he’d manage another. So we’re making him March at least 10k steps per day for the entire month of June!

Perseverance

Many of our Porters walk in excess of 10k steps a day, but that’s not what this is about. This is about persevering and hitting that 10k every day, no days off and no matter if it’s raining or snow, Neil must hit his 10k target.

Donate

This is going to be a big challenge for Neil, but we’ll be with him every step of the way. Click here to donate what you can!

Albion Mobility

Big enough to supply what we need, but small enough to care; a huge thanks to Albion Mobility, one of our key sponsors of this event, who were kind enough to supply Nathan Macqueen with a hand-cycle for the event.
