SPORTS RELIEF CHALLENGE - Take Part ! Bikeathon or Swimathon

This month, we’re taking part in Sport Relief, but we need your help!

We’d like to invite you and your team to take part in our Bikeathon or Swimathon (or both, for extra brownie points!) to raise money and awareness for this incredible cause.

Our challenge starts with our Bikeathon on Wednesday 16^th March and runs until Friday 18^th March. 

We’ve challenge ourselves to cycle the 543.2 miles between the Blackpool Tower and the Eiffel Tower, all from the comfort of The Union.  You can pedal alone, or take parts in teams of three.

To take part in our challenge, we’re asking participants to donate £5 to Sport Relief.  There’s lots more information about our challenge on our blog, but if you have any more questions then just let me know!

Not able to take part?

If you’re not able to take part, but do have access to communications channels, it would be a great help if you could share this out.  I’ve attached some social media artwork, and some indicative copy below and, if you need anything else, just let me know.
