RACE AROUND IRELAND
Race Around Ireland
Adventure Unlimited is entering two cyclists into
the International Ultra-Marathon World Cup challenge
event, the Race Around Ireland.
Mike and Dave are planning to celebrate their 50th
birthdays in style by cycling an amazing 1,350 miles
in the race. They are hoping to raise £50,000 in
sponsorship for AU by completing Europe's toughest
cycling challenge and winning the competition by
completing it is just 4 1/2 days - that's 150 miles
a day each!
Mike and Dave will be supported by a committed team
of volunteers who will drive the vehicles, repair
the bikes, organise kit and food and navigate.
They too will be on the go 24 hours/day. This is an
incredible challenge for everyone involved.
How you can help?
We are urgently looking for sponsorship for the team
to be able to take part. We are looking for in-kind
and cash donations. You can donate to them at

Brighton Marathon 2011 Places
Adventure Unlimited are proud
to have some places available in the second Brighton
Marathon on Sunday 10 April 2011. More
information about running for us is available
here
Walk Around the World
The Hilton Foundation & Brighton Rotary Club have
organised a sponsored event, called Around the
World, which takes place Sunday 6th June.
The aim is to add up the miles everyone across the
UK completes and see if we can make it ‘Around the
World’!
It would be really great if you would consider
taking part and raising sponsorship for Adventure
Unlimited and the Crew Club, dual beneficiaries of
the event this year.
The event will be lots of fun and involves
walking/running/skipping, or however you fancy
moving, along the seafront for as little as a mile,
up to as many as you can fit in over 2 hours. There
will be a warm up at 1pm ready for a start at
1.30pm, and it finishes at 3.30pm. There will be
lots of fun activities along the way, and a Heroes’
reception at 4pm. People of any age can take part.
There is no minimum sponsorship. The event is £5 to
register, but this can be taken out of your
sponsorship.
The funds raised for us will help disadvantaged
children and young people take part in our
activities, by reducing the cost of events for those
on a low income and training volunteer assistants.
To get more info or register, see
Hilton Foundation Leaflet.
You can register in advance or on the day.
Once you've registered you can print off a
sponsor form
and start collecting sponsors. It would be great if
you would let us know if you are planning to take
part, so that we have an idea of how many people are
taking part for AU.

Support Adventure Unlimited
at Waitrose in March 2010
Waitrose (on Western Road, Brighton) has chosen us as
one of the charities they’re supporting during the month
of March. When you shop, you get a green token to put in
one of three boxes in store, each representing a
charity. There is £1000 to share and the 3 charities
share the money according to how many tokens they get.
If you (or your friends) shop at Waitrose, it would be
great if you could help us by posting your tokens for
us.

NEW HEIGHTS 2009 -
Summer Project
Young
Hyde residents challenge themselves in summer holiday
programme
This
summer The Hyde Group’s community regeneration team,
Hyde Plus, has joined forces with Brighton-based
charity, Adventure Unlimited, to deliver ‘New Heights’,
a programme of activities for young people aged eight to
13 which will give them the chance to take part in new
activities and experiences.
The
activities – which include climbing, archery and games
team building - have been earmarked for five housing
estates in Brighton, Portslade, Bexhill, Haywards Heath
and Redhill. Some low-income households on the estates
have limited access to transport thus restricting their
attendance of holiday programmes.

Peacehaven Cliffs - Saturday 6th June 2009

much needed funds were raised! We're awaiting a
final total at present, so will let you know once we
have the final amount.
