You may be forgiven for thinking that Thanksgiving is just an excuse to stuff your face with yams, turkey and stuffing; a warm up Christmas if you will. But hang on to your pumpkin pie, there is SO much more to it than that. To celebrate this very American holiday we are launching our Beyond the Grand Canyon Challenge – your chance to nip over the pond and do something fantastic…for charity of course…

It’s the 4th Thursday in November, and that means today is all about parades, turkeys, and an excuse to watch the football. The origins of the first Thanksgiving may be mixed, but most think it went a little something like this…. Continue Reading…
