Climb Pyrenees mountain range in Europe, with Rob

Rob Turner has a reason to join other cyclists from Aston Cantlow to the Pyrenees mountain range (in Europe). One must say a ‘nice’ idea to celebrate the 70th birth anniversary and prove to the world that – AGE is just a number.

To climb 26 mountains and cycle 530 miles [in a marathon event] is not an easy task, but for this 70-year ‘young at heart’ man, there is nothing impossible in life. He will start his journey on 28th August from Biarritz with a mission to provide funds towards charity, in memory of his nephew who died of bowel cancer.

The 70-year old Rob even reminisces cycling alongside Boris Johnson in the 100 mile London event, on August 4th 2013.

Now, everyone can contribute and be a part of the mission: http://www.virginmoneygiving.com/robturner7

The Never-Rest Girls’ from Chamonix France prepare for the world’s highest marathon

Meet ‘The Neverest Girls’ (Nikki, Sam, Sofia, Laura, Alison, Steph, Katy, Cat, Helen and Andrea) who wish to conquer the Mount Everest, next year.

Everyone heard it right. AlpyBus talks about the female runners based in Chamonix, French Alps that prepare for the ‘The Everest Marathon’ in May 2014.

Though not elite athletes or with any track records, the girls with the mission to raise funds for charity are under severe training for the long-distance running event.

Running for them is not a solitary pursuit but a team effort. For these young women, running is their support system, passion and freedom.

Best of luck!
