Staff from Leeds-based travel management firm Ventur will attempt to walk 42k on Sunday (10 October) as part of the Royal Pride Charity Challenge in a bid to raise money for Kids Village.

The team hopes to raise £2,400 for the charity

Six staff members will take part in the challenge to support the children’s terminal illness respite charity, which plans to build a bespoke holiday village for children who are terminally ill and their families.

The challenge will see the Ventur staff race against other teams as they follow a route through London’s 10 royal parks, starting at Bushy Park and ending at Greenwich Park.

Emma Louise Forrestall, head of service delivery at Ventur, said: "Our team is really looking forward to Sunday – they’ve been training for weeks and are really touched by the Kids Village cause, which was founded by a friend of the business.
