These are the deadlines:</p> <p>  </p> <p> 1st instalment December 1st: £2,000 (2,530 euros) (complete – self funded)</p> <p> 2nd instalment January 31st: £7,000 (9,120 euros)</p> <p> 3rd instalment March 31st: £3,000 (3,795 euros)</p> <p> 4th instalment May 31st: £3,990 (5,060 euros)</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Plus flights</strong>: approximately £1,600 (2,000 euros) (that we aim to pay for ourselves)</p> <p>  </p> <p> We have both contributed £1000 (1300 euros) towards the race entry fee. We are now faced with a series of installments that will secure our place in the race, the first being on the 31st of January and being of £3,500  (4,560 euros) each.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Because of the publicity this race generates on its own and the slightly alternative slant we are giving it, the race becomes an investment that will prosper in to considerable funding for our respective charities. </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Overall we need to raise £15,990 pounds (20,240 euros) to compete in the race and aim to raise a further £20,000 (25,000 euros) for the charities.</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Brother_and_sister-1418494326" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/146321/brother_and_sister-1418494326.jpeg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Agronomes et vétérinaires sans frontieres (AVSF)</strong> <a href="http://www.avsf.org" target="_blank">http://www.avsf.org</a></p> <p>  </p> <p> AVSF is a french NGO with a team of 280 international members in 20 countries where it carries its activities.AVSF helps livestock farmers group together to combat animal diseases.

The charity has a simple aim which is to provide ongoing support to burn injured children and their families from injury through to adulthood. FAB Club supports young burns survivors and their families by building self esteem, confidence and having fun through activities such as camps, fun days and parties. Friendships are made by the children and their families whilst giving mutual support to one another.</p> <p>  </p> <p> The charity has no paid staff and relies entirely upon the generosity of fundraisers. Money raised for the charity funds weekend breaks and special camps for young burns survivors from across the South West who have been scarred by housefires, explosions, electrocutions and scalds. During these events, the children face new challenges, build friendships, learn from other children’s burns experiences and provide each other with invaluable support.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Fab-1417856869" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/144454/fab-1417856869.jpeg"></p>
