Cardgains unveils charity trek
The details for Cardgain's annual charity challenge - codenamed the Windy Wander - have been finalised.
It's never easy with Cardgains and this year is no exception. The challenge is to walk around Lake Windermere in the Lake District on Thursday July 1st - a total of 44 gruelling miles!
Already, over 40 members of the greetings card industry have signed up for the trek - a mixture of publishers, retailers and suppliers.
This year's Cardgains charity challenge is supporting Diabetes UK, which is the largest
organisation in the UK working for people with diabetes, funding research, campaigning and helping people live with the condition. It's a fantastic charity and needs all the help it can get to help people cope with diabetes.
Once again Greetings Today magazine is taking part and although this year's challenge does allow for shorter distances to be undertaken, rest assured we are taking on the Full Monty! Greetings Today's editor, Lewis Eckett, (in training below) has been tasked with completing the full course and is in training already. The route sounds simple but away from the shoreside there are some major ascents to overcome - so it's not all on the flat.
