The Martlets Hospice, Hove, is looking for teams to take on the demanding Lake District Enduro challenge to help raise funds for their work.
THIS sponsored multi-activity event in the beautiful hills and valleys of the Lake District, will require participants to tackle the tough terrain by canoe, bike and on foot.
Clem Hunnisett, Martlets Community Events Fundraiser, said: “Why not challenge your mates or work colleagues to a demanding multi-activity event. Cycle, paddle and hike your way across the magnificent scenery of the Lakes. There’s no better test of skills, stamina and mental strength than this ultimate team-building challenge.
“Whether you take part on your own, with colleagues or with friends, this long, tough day offers a great challenge, for a fantastic local cause – and the sense of achievement at the end will be unforgettable.
“This event is designed to be challenging for those of good health and fitness, and is achievable for most people provided they train well in advance.”
The funds raised will help the Martlets provide end of life care to adults who are affected by terminal and life limiting illness, as well as caring for their families and loved ones.
Facilities at the Martlets include an 18 bed In-Patient Unit, Hospice at Home service, Patient and Family Support team and Martlets Day Services.
The Martlets receives less than a third of their funding from the government and must raise £9,000 a day to help people who are dying to do so with dignity and in as calm and peaceful a way as possible.
The Lake District Enduro event will take place on Saturday, June 20 at Derwentwater in the Lake District.
However, participants will need to register by May 8 to secure their place.
Registration costs £49 per person and each participant must raise a minimum of £250 in sponsorship.
