Story

We're back again, with another suitably risqué team name, racing to raise money for Children in Need at The Race Centre Chandlers Ford's 2024 hour event on 15th-16th November. The Race Centre has been running this event for the past 16 years and has raised more than £75,000 for the charity to date.

Putting our bodies, minds, sanity and sleep on the line, this year's team once again comprises of David Sclanders, Mike Taylor and Chris Leach. We've all competed in this event for a number of years (we love coming 4th!) and though for us a podium is our aim, comfortably exceeding our £500 target for the charity would be the win we'd love.

We know times are rough at the moment, but they're rougher for a lot of kids out there, whose circumstances mean they've been unable to have the same opportunities as us growing up. Hopefully we can do our bit - even if that's a a tiny bit - to make life a bit better for those kids in this country and beyond but we need your help!

Any donation, £1 to £1,000,000 (or more) is of course welcomed and you can track our progress by following this link: (link to be displayed on the day) or live stream the event: (link to follow on the day!)

Don't forget to add Gift Aid if you're a UK taxpayer and resident to add some government funded extras to your donation. Let's be honest, it's the least they can do!

Team Coming From Behind,

David, Mike & Chris
