How far can you get in 24 hours?

The Sussex Autistic Community Trust, RNLI, Eastbourne & South Wealden MS Society and Sussex Air Ambulance have joined together to organise a sponsored jailbreak.

Stairs Jail

The Jailbreak will take place over 24 hours with teams being released from Eastbourne’s Redoubt Fortress at 11am on Saturday 16^th May 2009.

The teams must then try to get as far away as possible by 11am 17^th May, without using their own money or transport, or that of their friends and family.

Each of the charities are looking for teams with a minimum of two people, to compete in the Jailbreak.

Teams pay £10 per person to enter and are encouraged to secure sponsorship for their chosen charity. The minimum age limit for participants is 18.

There will be an Awards Evening on 16^th June 2009 where Beverley Thompson, from BBC South East News, will be presenting the following prizes:-

· the Team that reached the furthest destination.

· the Team that used the most unusual forms of transport to get to their destination.

· the Team that reached the most unusual destination in the 24 hours.

· the Team that raised the most sponsorship money.

· the Individual which raised the most money for their charity.

The Awards Evening is being held at Martello Beach, Pevensey Bay and is receiving generous support and sponsorship from the Haulfryn Group, which owns Martello Beach.
