A NEW YEAR RAILWAY CHILDREN CHALLENGE

RMT helpline 0800 376 3706 :: march 2013 :: RMTnews 28 If you’ve set yourself the goal of taking part in a physical challenge this year and you need inspiration, children’s charity Railway Children might just have the answer. The charity that fights for children living on the streets in the UK, India and East Africa has an extensive programme of challenges that will keep you motivated, help you get fit and make a flying start to the year. You’ll also be making a huge difference to children with nowhere to go and no one to turn to. Railway Children’s events manager Katie Mason said that Railway Children has fundraising events to suit everyone from their popular Three Peaks Challenge by Rail to cycling trips and charity runs. “The charity provides help with training schedules and support with fundraising,” she said. A new event in 2013 is London Ride 100, a 100-mile bike ride in London, the first direct sporting legacy from the Olympics. Railway Children enables children living on the streets to access places of safety, engage with education and return to their families, where possible.
