New Sponsors Announced


We are delighted to announce 3 new corporate sponsors for our cycle to Casablanca in aid of The Sick Children's Trust.

Cambridge car dealership Marshall's Motor Group have become our biggest sponsor by kindly making a donations both directly to Acorn House, and also agreeing to contribute towards the cost of our camping equipment. www.marshallweb.co.uk

Orwell Truck and Vans similarly helped us by helping us to buy a bike GPS which, with only two geographers in the party, will be essential to guide us through foreign territories: www.orwelltruckandvan.co.uk

NYK logistics are our third new sponsor who have very kindly donated £500 directly to Acorn House on our behalf: www.nyklogistics.com

These are added to support already received from Ben Hayward Cycles in Cambridge and The Bicycle Travel Network.

Without the support of our sponsors our trip would not be possible. Individually we have paid for the cost of our bikes and will be paying living costs en-route but our student loans are struggling to afford other essential items, such as tents and GPS, which companies have helped us with. In return we offer companies publicity through the local (Cambridge) press and a range of branding opportunities on our kit and website.

Despite the fantastic level of support we haev already received we would love to hear from any new potential sponsors. If you think you may be able to help of know someone who can please get in touch at cambridgetocasablanca@googlemail.com

More information can be found at the sponsors page of our website: www.cambridgetocasablanca.co.uk

Team member Tom Doble Said:
"We're absolutely delighted that Marshalls, NYK and Orwell Truck and Van have got on board with this venture. Without their support the whole trip would be inconceivable and it speaks volumes for what a good cause this is that we've had such a positive response, but if we could get one or two more sponsors to help us pay the cost of our camping equipment that would be even better"
