CARE Egypt Challenge

wideworld.jpg We have teamed up with CARE Egypt to offer an exciting hiking challenge from 22 - 25 October 2010. 

The challenge will take place beba.jpg around St Catherine’s, situated in the heart of the Sinai Peninsula. The area is sacred to three world religions: Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Due to its natural and cultural significance, the region has UNESCO World Heritage status.

The funds that you raise will support a number of projects including a local Egyptian project to improve the lives of women affected by domestic violence.
 
You will be supported at every stage of the challenge: from pre-event preparation, training and fundraising advice, to event support, including an experienced events team and guides on hand to help.
 
The fundraising target of £1,500 includes transport from the airport at Cairo and back, and refreshments and food for the duration of the event. Flights are not included but we will support you with all logistics.
 
The challenge will be co-run by the CARE challenge teams in UK and Egypt – we don’t employ any agencies so more of your money goes directly to our projects.
 
Follow in the footsteps of prophets, pilgrims and warriors, and enjoy Egypt’s cultural heritage, captivating views and rugged mountainous terrain.

CARE challenge are an in-house charity fundraising team. We offer many exciting charity events that you can join. All our charity challenges offer amazing adventures outdoors and lots of our activities take place over adventure weekends. If charity runs are your thing, then we have lots to offer - 10K runs, half marathons and many other running events. Or, how about cycling events for charity? We certainly have lots to offer in the charity cycling department. There are charity rides where you can cycle London to Brighton or you can even do a charity bike ride from London to Paris, if London to Brighton isn't far enough! We also have some charity walks and hikes. Later this year we have a sponsored walk that is 25 miles long in order to celebrate the 25th anniversary of CARE International's UK office. If activities outdoors and adventure weekends get your adrenalin pumping, then why not sign up for one of our mountain challenges? We have numerous charity challenges on mountains over the year from three peaks challenges to 24 peaks challenges - if you think you're up to it! For many of our charity fundraising events you can register as a teamleader or part of a team. We believe our charity challenges offer great teambuilding activities and are really great for team events.
