THE DETAILS

FUNDRAISING DEADLINES
You will need to send your sponsorship money to the charity as you raise it. At least 55% of the minimum sponsorship required must be sent to Sue Ryder no later than 8 weeks before departure (by 01/06/2016), and the remaining 45% within 2 weeks of completing the challenge (by 14/08/2016). If you have raised the necessary funds, the charity will then pay the balance of your challenge costs. The charity benefits by keeping the remaining sponsorship money and every pound over and above that you raise.

PRICES INCLUDE ALL KNOWN AIR TAXES
We include ALL known air taxes (including fuel) at the time of costing. Many companies do not include air taxes at all, and clients are therefore hit with a surcharge of three or four hundreds of pounds just before departure. If the air taxes increase between the time of costing and your departure, we will absorb up to £50 (depending on the challenge) before passing on any increased costs. Our aim is to provide you with transparent pricing and clear instructions as to what is included in our prices and if applicable what isn't.

SMALL GROUP SUPPLEMENT
