PEOPLE who have a sense of adventure can sign up for a Stranded event with a difference organised by the Cheeky Kids Foundation.

For this extreme charity challenge the organisers plan to drop the willing contestants 50 to 100 miles away from Weymouth in teams of two with just £5 each and a packed lunch on Saturday, June 4.

From there the volunteers are in a fierce battle to make it back to Weymouth before the other teams. Organiser Keith Buckland said: “It is a race that will show just how good your initiative is because only the best will make it back as the winner.

“It’s a fun day that’s slightly unlike anything else and hopefully will involve people who are willing for adventure as well as raising funds for the foundation.

“We’re hoping this will be the start of an annual fundraiser and that lots of people will get involved.”

For the contestants who make it back in time there will be a celebratory evening at Wellworthy’s Sports and Social Club in Wyke Regis where entertainment will be provided from an Elvis and Johnny Cash impersonator.

Great prizes will be on offer in the grand raffle including a weekend break for two and tickets to a premiership football game and a spa break.

The Echo-backed foundation started at the start of the year by five local businessmen who wanted to make a difference in the community. Their aim is to provide children in the area with essentials and to fund special appeals.

It was launched on the back of a £500 donation from each businessman and since then has come to the rescue to a little girl who had her Christmas ruined by burglars by replacing all stolen gifts.

The foundation then helped out a Weymouth nursery who needed a doorway to make the building secure.

Recent donations to the foundation include £652 from the Wyke Regis Working Men’s Club, £877 from a charity football match and a £127 donation from the Beldevere pub.
