Charity Work and Developing Milton Keynes

Extramile Challenge

The economic cycle may have been on the downturn, but Heald's plucky pedallers are celebrating once again. The funds raised by last years Extra Mile Loire Challenge 2010 have been collected and over £110,000 has been distributed to charity - a brilliant result from all who took part. It brings the total raised by our nine events to date to a superb £880,000.

Heald Solicitors are proud to sponsor and co-organise the Extra Mile Challenges. They have become established among Milton Keynes' foremost annual fundraisers for good causes, and as a leading mass-participation event suitable for everyone to take part.

This years challenge was completed over the weekend of the 23rd September and was completed by a full entry of 45 teams (180 riders) drawn from local businesses and organisations. Click to read to read a diary of the weekend

Joining Martin in the Heald Solicitors teams will be members David Dees and Nick Crook. They too are veterans of every previous Challenge. Also solicitor Esther Marchant whose shocking-pink leggings turned heads throughout last year's ride.
