Story
2020 has been an extraordinary and challenging year for businesses and charities alike. Amer Sports recognise that despite these extraordinary times, they can still fulfil their commitment to support vulnerable young people, by raising funds for the Youth Adventure Trust.
Following the successful Amer 100 event in 2019 on the South Downs Way, the company are ready to get back outside and cover ground in a different way. As Amer Sports brands and offices, located in North America, Canada and Northern Europe have a total distance of just over 8,880 between them, we've used this figure to create a virtual challenge for staff.
Each member of staff who wants to participate will take on an activity of their choice (swim, hike, bike, walk or cycle etc), create their own challenge and pledge to do a certain amount of the Transatlantic challenge miles. The ultimate goal will be for all 8,880 miles to be covered and £13,000 raised as a result. Please help them along their journey by sponsoring them - you're making a huge difference to the lives of the vulnerable young people that the Youth Adventure Trust support.
Staff can either choose from any of the distances below, or set their own mileage challenge to contribute to the 8,800 miles.
