Chris Edwards, CIE-Group's head of marketing and also chairman of local charity 'Derby Kids' Camp', will be joined by CIE-Group colleagues Steve Collin (head of sales) and Martin Featherstone (audio sales), as 'Team EverFocus' undertake this challenging three day event to raise much needed funds both for the children's charity and Wessex Heartbeat Foundation.
The funds raised will help Derby Kids' Camp to provide disadvantaged children from the local area with a free holiday and will also support the hard work of Wessex Heartbeat to provide specialist care for adults and children with serious heart conditions.
To bring all the action back to the UK throughout the event, the Team plan to broadcast their efforts live to the internet using the latest EverFocus mobile CCTV technology. A mobile system comprising the new EverFocus EDSR mobile DVR system (Digital Video Recorder) linked to a GPS Receiver and transmitted wirelessly via 3G will be installed into the support vehicle to record and broadcast events throughout the journey.
The Team has targeted to raise well in excess of £5000 to be shared equally between Derby Kids' Camp and the Wessex Cardiac Centre. The figure raised so far is over £3500 and there will now be a significant effort to exceed the target by the completion of the challenge.
Team EverFocus will depart on 27 September, with the three-day cycle challenge taking place from 28-30 September. Anyone who wishes to support the event should visit www.justgiving.com/team_everfocus.
