Elyte Fitness aims to raise £1,000 for Children in Need and convert the money raised into miles, which they will collectively cycle within 24 hours.
Staff members Courtney Pettifor, Ollie Rutherford and Sam Loveday, from Elyte Fitness, will start the challenge on Thursday 11th November at 18:00 and aim to complete all the miles by Friday 12th November at 18:00.
The team will be splitting the first 1000 miles between them, meaning they will each be aiming to cover 333 miles in 24 hours. If the fundraising total goes above the target, members at Elyte Fitness will help by getting them over the final few hurdles!
Elyte Fitness, based at Unit 14 in Lancaster Way Business Park, will be hosting a range of fundraising activities in their fundraising efforts, ranging from a live DJ set on the Thursday evening, to Fancy Dress on the Friday, with all proceeds going to Children in Need.
Dawn Lamb, owner of Elyte Fitness and recently nominated finalist in the SME Ely Business Awards 2021 Business Hero category, organised the event along with her team, who wish to raise £1000 for Children In Need.
Dawn said: “We are always looking at ways that we can give back to the community. Children in Need is a fantastic way of bringing the community together after such a challenging 18 months.”
“We have received such amazing support so far, raising more than half our fundraising target.”
“I feel so proud of my amazing team taking on this challenge for such an important cause. A nonstop 24-hour cycle isn’t easy and I’m sure they would appreciate any tasty carbohydrates being dropped off. Come along and show your support. You don’t have to be a member, so any pay as you go attendance payments will be given to the charity.”
