On Sunday 19th October 2014, officially kick-starting our 50:50 Challenge, an amazing team of 9 cyclists took on a 50 mile bike ride and stopped for selfies outside 50 churches on route. They did an amazing job and actually cycled 53.89 miles and stopped at 59 churches. They made it to the end still smiling! Check at the photos at the bottom of this post…
If you’re wondering why they did it, then take 2 minutes to watch this short video.
Big thanks…
Thank you to all the churches that agreed to us stopping by for a selfie! Extra special thanks to all the churches that made us welcome in their services – it was great to pause and spend some time worshipping with you all on route. We had a great day and met some really lovely people.
Thanks also go out to those who supported us on route; Ann & Mandy for making an amazing breakfast, Kate & Frank for driving the support cars, Tim for meeting us at Lymm and leading the way to Didsbury and Gill & Marilyn for meeting us with tea and coffee at the end.
The biggest of big thank yous to the cyclists themselves; Prad, Stu, Noel, Keith, Paul, Fran, Sylvia, Luke and Jo.
And of course, massive thanks to all the friends and families who have sponsored the team members. We are delighted that between them the team has raised an absolutely outstanding £8,698.10 with money still coming in. We can’t thank you enough for helping this to happen.
Feeling inspired?
We’re looking for 50 volunteers to take on their own version of the 50:50 challenge. There were 9 cyclists and 12 others have signed up for their own version of the 50:50 Challenge… That means we’re looking for 29 more volunteers to do something amazing by the end of the year. Are you one of them?
If our team of cyclists have inspired you, then head over to the 50:50 Challenge page and sign up!
