THE Meningitis Trust is appealing for Swindonians to get on their bikes for charity.
It wants people help cycle the equivalent of the earth's circumference- more than 24,900 miles.
The Wheelie Round the World event takes place from June 20 to July 3.
Event organiser Kate Baines said: "It is a huge challenge. So whether you manage to cycle five miles or five hundred with Wheelie Round the World every mile counts against meningitis."
The challenge is open to individuals, families, and teams of friends or colleagues.
"Charity challenges can sometimes seem time consuming and hard to organise, but with Wheelie
Round the World this isn't the case," said Kate.
"The event takes place over a fortnight which means people will be able to notch up miles as and when they can, and
they'll all count towards our grand total.
"It's free to enter and we don't mind how you clock up the miles."
