Newton Abbot Leisure Centre staff pull out the stops for Rowcroft Hospice
6 hour Exe-athon, 12 hour bounceathon, 24 hour X Bike and that's just the warm up!
Staff from Newton Abbot Leisure Centre are hosting a series of events this summer to raise money for Rowcroft Hospice and customers are invited to show their support by getting involved.
The fundraising antics will culminate in the main event; a mammoth bike ride from Lands End to John O'Groats by Jo Boardman, Jay Carter, James Henderson and Peter O'Neil. The event will consist of riding over 100 miles each day and the team are aiming to cover the distance in just 8 days.
Training has been intense over the past months and if that wasn't enough the team are also busy organising extra ways to prepare themselves and find ways for other people to have some fun by either watching or taking part!
