St Andrews Madsummer's Dash · 15 June 2011

We use sport to promote health & inclusion to people with intellectual disabilities

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. We must be mad.......

 

Between us we will be cycling this years 'St Andrews Madsummer's Dash', for Special Olympics, cycling in a relay from the Houses of Parliament in London back to St Andrews in Scotland - a distance of 439 miles if we take the right route! On this two day journey we will be supported by two safety vehicles.

 

This years 'Domino's Team' is made up of Andy Hirst, Slawomir Szulc, Damien Weiss, Steve Payne, Marc Whelan and Antony Tagliamonti. These cyclists will be supported by Charles Sindall, Mark Lewis and Przemyslaw Jankowski who will be safety drivers who may even take to the bike at some point! 

 

It will definitely be fun - if the cycling isn't challenging enough then sitting in a safety vehicle for nearly 2 days with the team will be a big challenge in itself.....

 

This years event will begin as Big Ben strikes 10pm on Wednesday 15th June.  At this time 7 teams of 6 people will start cycling from the Houses of Parliament.  Sir Menzies Campbell, MP and ex Olympic athelete, plans to start the event.   

 

All team members, including the safety drivers, have donated their time.  All the costs of the event have been covered by the teams themselves and the St Andrews Midsummer's Ball who have organised this event.  

 

Each team will have at least one cyclist riding at any one time all the way back to St Andrews.  It will be a long ride, but worth every moment, as we all benefit our teams chosen Scottish Children's charity Childline.
