GAC & Chevron cyclists pedalling it out for a good cause
Sweating it out to raise money for The Mission to Seafarers
GAC’s Neil Godfrey, 49, (GAC London), Sami Younis, 32, (GAC London), Peter Osterman, 36, (GAC Stockholm) and Mark O’Callaghan, 24, (GAC London) will be putting pedal power to the test, together with Chevron’s Chris Hendry, 33, (Chevron London) and Gareth Ogden, 31, (Chevron London) as part of Tour Pour La Mer 2009 to raise funds for The Mission to Seafarers.
They have already started training for the event that will see them cycling the 160 kilometre journey from Antwerp to Rotterdam and from Rotterdam to Amsterdam over a two-day period in September. Further details of the event are available from: http://www.tourpourlamer.com/
The team is also hard at work drumming up support and pledges for sponsorship. All the funds raised will go direct to The Mission to Seafarers, which cares for the spiritual and practical welfare of all seafarers regardless of nationality or faith. They operate a network of chaplains, staff and volunteers in 230 ports worldwide, offering a welcome and whatever help may be needed.
This year marks the third time that GAC cyclists have taken part in the Tour Pour La Mer. Their past efforts resulted in the raising of almost £ 5,500 for The Mission to Seafarers.
