A Monster Challenge at Loch Ness



Reading Evening Post: 28th August, 2007

A team of young men are willing to face the Loch Ness monster to help raise money for charities that are close to home.

Four intrepid employees from Reading-based company Transportation Claims Ltd, the insurance department for First Group, are training hard for the First Monster Challenge to be held around the shores of Loch Ness.

John Drummond, Mark Shoosmith, Matthew Jordan and Chris Cox are putting themselves through their paces to complete individual legs of a 10k run followed by a 20k cycle.

All this effort is being made to raise as much sponsorship money as they can for two national charities.

With the support of their company, colleague, families and friends they are raising funds for the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Research Foundation and The National Association for Colitis and Crohn’s Disease.

They have selected these charities because three of the team have family and friends who suffer from one of these conditions. Mark and Chris both have mothers with ME.
