Abersoch RNLI's annual virtual ‘bike’ ride underway.
Veering away from the usual annual cycle event, due to these challenging times, Abersoch RNLI invite you all to take part in a new virtual challenge!
So many of the usual fundraising events have had to be cancelled this year so the volunteer fundraisers have had their thinking caps on and here’s how you can get involved.
Set yourself a target distance, eg. 40, 30, 15 or 5 miles, decide how you are going to complete the distance, ie. walk, run, cycle, paddle, rollerskate etc and then simply complete the challenge during the month of October. You don’t even have to do it all in one go.
No sponsporship required just a minimum £10 donation via our JustGiving page and don’t forget to keep a record of what you’ve done so you can receive a medal to celebrate your achievement.
Sign-up and join in now via our Facebook page:
