The Bath Rugby Foundation will celebrate its tenth anniversary with two high-profile fundraising challenges in June - the biggest in the Foundation's history.
Former England and Bath Rugby players Lewis Moody, Danny Grewcock, David Flatman and Andy Beattie will join local bike riders in the Ultimate Cycle Challenge from John O'Groats to Land's End between June 8 and 16.
Simultaneously, a group of novice local rowers, alongside world champion rower Natalie Grose, are preparing to take on the Ultimate Row Challenge to row in Cornish Gigs from The Scilly Isles to Land's End on June 15.
The bike team, which also includes Bath Rugby President David Trick and Bath Rugby CEO Nick Blofeld, will cycle in the Deloitte Ride Across Britain from John O'Groats to Land's End, covering a distance of 954 miles in nine days (approximately 106 miles per day).

The Bath Rugby Foundation is an independent charity, 100 per cent funded by grants and donations from businesses and individuals.
Its aim, through award-winning education and inclusion programmes, is to enhance the lives of children and young people through sport, in particular those who have a disadvantaged lifestyle.
The Foundation helped 22,500 children in 2012 and has worked with over 125,000 children since it started in 2003.
