Marketing Matters to Run, Cycle and Row 2012km for Charity

Oct. 27, 2011 - PRLog -- Poole-based integrated marketing agency, Marketing Matters, has kicked off a 2012km running, cycling and rowing challenge to help raise money for Dorset charity Diverse Abilities Plus, which provides a range of education and support services for children and adults with varying disabilities across county.

Two teams of five from the agency are each running, cycling and rowing 201.2km to complete the total distance of 2012km. Both teams, Dorset Devils and Andy’s Angels, have three months to complete the Olympic-inspired challenge, which was devised by the Gold Challenge - a national fundraising initiative to raise money for charity.

The teams kicked off the challenge at LA Fitness at Tower Park by completing 2km of each sport. Now the members of the team have to keep on running, cycling and rowing and each complete 201.2km to raise as much money as possible through sponsorship.

Andy Legg, Joint Managing Director at Marketing Matters, said: “This is an exciting team challenge for us and I hope we can raise as much money as possible for Diverse Abilities Plus. It was good fun kicking it off altogether and I’d like to say a thank you to Jules Hunter, at LA Fitness, who provided us with free passes so we could all do the sports together in the gym.”
