Mission to Seafarers supporters are getting themselves into shape ahead of this year's Tour Pour La Mer cycle challenge to raise vital funds for the mission organisation's work with seafarers and shippers.
The Shipowners' P&I Club, a maritime insurer, is the latest cycling team to sign up for the sponsored cycle starting in Southampton on 28 September. The 100-mile route will take the cyclists through the stunning New Forest before returning to Southampton to cross the finishing line.
The Shipowners' team will be led by the company's Commercial Director Simon Swallow who inspired some of his colleagues to join him in the latest challenge following last year's successful cycle from Greenwich to Le Touquet in France.
