Essential Feature Cheshire Jail Break Escape is only the beginning… Are you ready? On the 26th of July 2014 we will be launching our first ever Cheshire jail break event, in aid of Genesis Research Trust and we need you! The event will begin from Risley prison at 10am, teams have 10 hours to get from Risley prison back to HQ base at The Black Swan, Rixton by 8pm covering as many miles as possible without using a penny of their own money. The team’s distances will be measured by UFindIT apps measuring distances covered. Each team will be competing for one of three prizes for the following: - The team which covers the furthest distance - The team which returns with the most unique/inventive mystery prize for the raffle - The team which raises the most money for the charity along the way Our aim is to raise funds for two local ladies Juliette Hassell and Zoe Atherton in aid of Genesis research trust, to help improve the lives of women and babies worldwide. In November the ladies will join Professor Robert Winston’s Women for Women cycle challenge to Tanzania and Zanzibar to raise money to fund medical research into the prevention, diagnosis & treatment 70 of a range of devastating conditions such as miscarriage, premature birth, brain damage & cancer. This is a charity, which is very close to both ladies hearts, and has touched their lives in different ways. Women for Women is the name of the challenge and is administered by Genesis Research Trust. Professor Winston is Chairman of both the Trust and Women for Women, for more information visit genesisresearchtrust.com The ladies need to raise a minimum of £6200 to take part in the cycle challenge. The cycle will take them 350kms over 5 days from Dar es Salaam in Tanzania to Stone town on Zanzibar Island. registered charity no.292518 So to get them there we need you!!! We need teams to enter, and anyone can come along to help so if you’re a team of friends, work colleagues, business looking for a team building exercise with a difference, or family looking for a crazy day out, then this is the event for you. Alternatively if you don’t feel up to the challenge of putting a team together you can come down and enjoy the family fun day we are holding at The Black Swan from 4pm onwards including live music, children’s entertainments, bbq, face painting and all at the fantastic setting of The Black Swan to welcome the teams back home. We will also be holding a mystery raffle of prizes donated by the teams as part of the challenge together with the official Cheshire Jail Break partners.
