We did it... and some, 358 miles covered in the two days, surpassing our original target by 220 miles!!! Now if we can just push those £££'s over the target too!!!

Howorth Air Tech has a long standing partnership with Rugby League Cares, an independent charity that touches the lives of people involved at every level of the sport.

Their charity work includes supporting players at the end of their careers, providing education and training grants that will equip them with the skills and qualifications needed for life after rugby.

Rugby League Cares have been instrumental in developing the Howorth wellbeing programme, they provide ongoing support for our staff, delivering their OFFLOAD mental fitness training and monthly drop-in sessions.

As part of their fundraising efforts, a brave team of cyclists including ex-rugby league players will be embarking on a 500 mile ride across the south of France in Le Tour de Rugby League Cares.

Team Howorth are supporting the fundraising with a challenge of their own by virtually covering the mileage from days two and three of Le Tour, a total of 138 miles.

We won't be setting foot in France, only onto a static bike at our facility! But your donations will be greatly appreciated.
