CYCLISTS are being urged to get on their bike and join the Meningitis Trust to 'Wheelie Round the World'.
The challenge, to collectively cycle the equivalent of the earth's circumference, takes place from June 20 to July 3
Kate Baines, event organiser, said: "With your help we are aiming to cycle a total of 24,901 miles. So whether you manage to cycle five miles or 500, every mile counts against meningitis.
"Charity challenges can sometimes seem time consuming and hard to organise, but with Wheelie Round the World this isn't the case.
"The event takes place over a fortnight which means people will be able to notch up miles as and when they can, and they'll all count towards our Wheelie Round the World grand total."
To receive a free Wheelie Round the World fund-raising pack containing information on the challenge and tips to make your event a success, call 0845 120 4530 or e-mail events@meningitis-trust.org
