Penrith Pumas Team Fundraising Challenge
Raising for Penrith Pumas WRC
Event dates: –
As a team we are working together to accumulate the total miles it would take to go from Lands End to John O'Groats which is a huge total of 837 miles by car.
The aim is to achieve this throughout the month of September to tie in with World Suicide Prevention Day on the 10th September, to help raise awareness of the importance of physical activity upon individuals mental health and well-being.
With each of our impairments the team will be achieving this through participating in any physical activity that they can such as walking, hand-cycling, swimming and other wheelchair sport etc.
We have set ourselves a target of £500.00 to be raised, with all donations being put to good use to keep the team playing Wheelchair Rugby. The funds will be used to purchase inner tubes (if you have seen the game recently in Paralympics, you'll understand how many punctures we have). As well as to help the club purchase new equipment to help the team develop their skills in the sport.
