Just over a week left to Get on Track for Rail Aid 2021!

Get on Track for Rail Aid 2021, a challenge sponsored by Angel Trains and supported by Rail Minister Chris Heaton-Harris.

Rail Aid 2021 has challenged the rail industry family to collectively run, walk, wheel, or cycle the distance between flagship projects in each of the three countries that the Railway Children charity works in – England, India and Tanzania, a total distance of 26,201km.

Companies have really stepped up to the plate with the incredible VolkerRail trumping the leader board with a total distance of over 11,785km covered! The team are particularly grateful for the Rail Minister Chris Heaton-Harris’ support for Get on Track and his continued support for Rail Aid after he launched Rail Aid last year for the very first time. You can find out what he has to say about Get on Track here.

With just 8,000km left to hit the target, you can cover any distance you like and all Rail Aid ask is that you donate or fundraise the same amount as the distance you cover. For example, if you’ve covered 10 kilometres, then you donate or raise £10! Any amount you raise will help Railway Children change the futures of some of the world’s most vulnerable children. Participants can sign up as individuals or can gather a group and take on the challenge as a team. Whether its workmates, family, friends, or industry contacts – clock up as many kilometres as you can between you.

You can track your distance through the My Virtual Mission App on which everyone can complete their exercise, log it on the group challenge and donate or raise that amount. You’ve got two weeks left, with the challenge running until Saturday 26 November, so sign up today: https://railaid.co.uk/fundraise-for-us/get-on-track/.
