Around The World in East Ayton

An around the world challenge to raise funds for the Rainbow Centre is being staged in East Ayton.

A team from Scarborough are travelling around the world to raise money for the Rainbow Center.

Although in light of lockdown they are achieving their globe trotting trek from home.

Staff at Moneyweb in East Ayton are attempting to clock up enough miles to get them around the world in just 80 days.

Director Paul Robinson explains how it works.

The team of 30 are taking on a range of activities to clock up enough miles to get them round the globe using treadmills, exercise bikes and even sledges.

The "Around the World in 80 Days Challenge" will the team aim to travel the same distance as the circumference of the Earth, which is just shy of 25,000 miles.

Paul Robinson told Paddy at Breakfast that a week in to their challenge they are making good progress

They are hoping to raise four thousand pounds for the rainbow centre you can follow their progress via their Facebook page
