An around the world journey, started during lockdown, is coming to an end in East Ayton today.
None of those involved have actually left the Yorkshire Coast but between them the team at Moneyweb have nearly clocked up enough miles to complete a circumnavigation of the globe.
Managing Director Paul Robinson says They've been running, cycling and horse riding to achieve the miles to raise funds for the Rainbow Centre
The team need to clock up 300 miles before midnight to complete the challenge.
Paul says they have all done a great job getting behind the challenge and have raised over £4000 for the Scarborough based charity.
They started the challenge in February and gave themselves just 80 days to complete the required 25,000 miles.
There is more information about their challenge on their Just-giving page. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/moneyweb-ltd2
932 miles to go! 🌍 🚴 🏃🏻♀️ 🐎 🏊♀️ We’re approaching the end of our Around the World in 80 Days virtual challenge for the Rainbow Centre. The team are really motivated and are working hard to complete the 25,000 miles by Wednesday. The Rainbow Centre supports over 500 people a week with a diverse range of issues, they receive a small grant from the County Council but rely heavily on fundraising and donations from the community and support from businesses. Zoe Phillips, Marketing and Fundraising Manager at the Rainbow Centre explains a bit more about the charity in the video below and why the support from Moneyweb plays an important role in enabling them to care for more vulnerable people in the local area. Thank you to those who have supported us so far, we’re delighted to say we’ve reached our initial target of £4,000 but we’d love it if we could raise even more! https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/moneyweb-ltd2?utm_medium=qrcode&utm_source=offline&utm_term=df75cd7bc
