We’ll be canoeing 16.5km, climbing the 3^rd highest peak in England and cycling 20km in the ridiculously hilly Lake District all in one day on 4 June 2011! Why the Helvellyn would we do that?!!! This is why:

Over half our team competing in the Commando Challenge have seen at first hand the amazing work Retrak is doing to help street children who otherwise face a very bleak future. Retrak works in Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda with some of the most vulnerable members of society in the some of the poorest countries in the world to offer street children a real alternative to life on the street. For more information please a look at www.retrak.org.uk
