Jenny and Chris Take
Up Costa Rica Cycle Challenge
A Brother and sister team from Southend (England) are taking part in
a gruelling 200km challenge to help raise money for disadvantaged
young people.
In April Jenny Rutt, 25, and her brother Chris, 26, will be taking
part in the Prince’s Trust Costa Rica challenge and are hoping to
raise more than us$5.700 for the charity.
The challenge will see the pair travelling at altitudes of up to
2,500 metres, as they travel from the edge of the Pacific Ocean to
the shores of the Caribbean.
They will be travelling 200 km in just seven days biking, rafting,
and kayaking.
Miss Rutt, an insurance underwriter of Alexandra Road, Southend,
said: “When we heard about the challenge we couldn’t say no because
it is such a worthy cause.
“It will be tough going, but we will be ready for it.”
The duo were practicing their cycling skills by riding to Hadleigh
Castle at the weekend. Jenny and Chris have already raised us$1.000,
but still have a long way to go.
