RECYCLE THE ISLAND 2009 is taking place this Sunday the 27th September at Ryde, Isle of Wight to help raise vital funds for the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance.
Fraser Rowbotham (pictured), the clinical team leader of the Air Ambulance says “I’m very excited about Re-Cycle the Island and promoting the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance. It’s going to be a great opportunity to engage the diverse communities with this unique event. We hope to see many faces on the day giving us support and raising vital funds for this life-saving service. Don’t forget your bike! I’m taking mine! I’ll see you at Tesco’s Ryde or even on the route for a great day out!”
Entrants who raise at least £50 in sponsorship for the charity will be entered into a PRIZE DRAW to win a flight in a helicopter with one to one tuition, plus lots of other prizes. There are 2 routes available; a smaller 15 mile BLUE route, and a 50 mile RED route for those wanting a bigger challenge. You will pass several of the textile recycling banks that raise significant funds for the Air Ambulance, and there will be a fun quiz to complete en route too.
