Thank you Maven Capital Partners – for supporting the ‘Carbon Fivers’ challenge to raise funds for Winning Scotland Foundation.

Fund manager Maven Capital Partners deserves a huge thank you for generously supporting our 500 mile cycle challenge around the north of Scotland. With only a few days to go until the team sets off, backing like this will no doubt help significantly with motivation, especially when ‘the Fivers’ need to dig deep for the big climbs.

Winning Scotland Foundation is indeed an inspirational charity. It aims to help young people in Scotland ‘achieve their personal best’ in whatever they choose to do, helping to develop resilience, self-belief and determination. It is highly fitting then, that the Carbon riders will be required to call upon these very same qualities themselves in their Highland 500 challenge.

“The route is very demanding physically”, says Carbon lead rider Richard Wadsworth, “however, with the advice from the charity’s champions, we will be prepared to the best level we can be. During the ride we will be thinking of the fantastic support we have received and how much more great work Winning Scotland Foundation will be able to do when we reach our target.”

If you would like to join our sponsors or support the event in any way and associate yourself or your business with the challenge then there is still time. Please contact either: judy.anderson@winningscotlandfoundation.org
