GET in shape and feel good about yourself by signing up for one of two challenges in aid of Mencap, the UK's leading charity for children and adults with a learning disability.
The ten-day China Bike Ride in May/June 2003, offers men and women the chance to experience some of China's most beautiful and dramatic landscapes. Pedal past cultivated fields, the tombs of the Ming Emperors and through the beautiful Shidu Gorge on what promises to be an unforgettable adventure.
The Flora Light Fun Run is a girls only event. Taking place on September 1 in London's Hyde Park, this three-mile run is perfect for anyone who's ever wanted to run a marathon without going the full 26.2 miles.
And if just the thought of running three miles leaves you puffing and panting, don't worry, you can take this marathon entirely at your own pace. Get your applications in now, closing date for entries is August 2.
Experience all this while raising vital funds to help children and adults with a learning disability live better lives. For more information about either of these events, call (0845) 9777 779 or e-mail events@mencap.org.uk
