Sport Relief: The Update!

So - bit of background: we're trying to cycle the distance from Beijing to Shanghai (stopping off at Xi'an along the way) in a bid to raise £10,000 for Sport Relief. In an attempt to keep our carbon footprint down, we're doing the 2,478km all from the comfort of an exercise bike in the corner of the office - we each have to do 15 minutes per day, a little bit like Wayne's doing here:

That's our post room - far more glamourous and wonderful than China - or so our boss Gordon keeps telling us.

Anyway - on to progress! So far we've cycled over 600km - so we're definitely out of Beijing! Please, if you get a chance, click here to sponsor us for the remaining 1,878km. Plus, to inject a little excitement into proceedings we've all been dressed up in sports-related gear today:

The ladies down at the front are the Curlywurlys - ready to take the next Winter Olympics by storm with their curling skills. The girls from customer support team have been keeping everyone in check as referees:

We've all been on our bestest behavior...

We'll keep you updated on how the rest of our Sport Relief shenanigans go... but if you get a chance please, please sponsor us at http://www.mysportrelief.com/personalPage.aspx?registrationID=183408. Thank you!!

All the money raised for Sport Relief is spent by Comic Relief to help disadvantaged people, both at home in the UK and across the world’s poorest countries, to turn their lives around. The fundraising cash might be spent helping kids in Africa get into primary school or supporting an isolated older person in the UK to meet other people so they feel less lonely. But one thing's for sure - the money raised will help to make the world of difference to people's lives.
