Story

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.

We are four individuals from Sony Ericsson attempting a gruelling challenge of riding motorbikes in sweltering heat to Casablanca. We'll leave from Honeypot House on the 2nd July to depart St.Malo on the Friday, from there its all the way to Casablanca AND BACK in just 6 days.  This may not sound far, however 2,600 miles on a motor bike across foreign terrain will require concentration and dedication (oh, and a well padded rear!).

We all like our home comforts, however to make the challenge even harder we are going to sleep under the stars, so will also need to carry all of our equipment on the bikes.

The ride will truly be a test of our stamina, will power and the plain old ability to keep going! We will have no support apart from each other and what we can carry on our normal road going bikes (no adventure bikes here!).

Huge thanks to 20:20mobile, Vodafone and Phones4U for their amazing support!! www.2020mobile.com www.vodafone.co.uk www.phones4u.co.uk
