IMO reception launches Flying Angel Ride event for the Mission
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) hosted a cheese and wine reception last week to promote The Mission to Seafarers Flying Angel Ride 2014.
The shipping industry challenge event, to be held on 25 May 2014 in the New Forest, is back by popular demand following the success of last year which was enjoyed by shipping professionals and their families.
IMO director of Maritime Safety Division, Andy Winbow said: "The evening was a great way to promote the Flying Angel Ride 2014 and to encourage shipping professionals to get fit. The Mission is an important charity that supports the seafarers that keep our industry afloat."
The Mission to Seafarers Secretary General, Revd Andrew Wright said: "We would like to thank the IMO for holding the reception and for those who signed up to the challenge event that will raise vital funds for the Mission to continue supporting seafarers across the globe."
So far 37 shipping professionals have signed up to take part in the ride so why not set yourself and your colleagues the challenge of completing either a 35 mile or 75 mile bike ride set in the stunning rural setting of Brockenhurst in the New Forest.
All participants will be sent a fundraising pack with useful tips for training and ways to get sponsorship and will be raising vital funds to help the Mission ensure seafarers are cared for in the 260 ports in 71 countries we operate in.
