Minty's Marathon Months is BACK!
Part 2: The Relay #444
So, what are we challenging ourselves for?
The Mintridge Foundation has once again teamed up with the fantastic team at Charitable Travel to bring you a challenge with another sensational prize. There's another team in our squad for this Challenge and that's the Jubilee Sailing Trust.
After the success of our Dubai Challenge earlier in the year, Minty is back with another exciting challenge to keep our mind and body moving. As Mental Health Awareness Week recently demonstrated, getting outside and active in nature has huge benefits for our wellbeing. According to the Mental Health Foundation, more than half of UK adults say that being close to nature improved their mental health.
You will be raising valuable funds for the Mintridge Foundation - a charity that harnesses the power of positive sporting role models and has been significantly impacted by the closure of schools.
And the most exciting part?
The winning team will receive 4 places on a day sail onboard tall ship, Tenacious in 2022, thanks to the wonderful generosity of the JST.
This voyage is for people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities, giving everyone the opportunity to explore their potential through inclusive adventures at sea.
Tenacious, is the only sea-going tall ship in the world designed, built and sailed by a mixed-ability crew.
The day sail (08:30 - 17:30) will take place from one of the following locations:
London
Liverpool
Southampton
Bristol
Charitable Travel will also organise complimentary accommodation in a 3* hotel the night before sailing.
