The SQ2SQ Team are to continue their fundraising efforts and the target has now been raised to £40,000.

The SQ2SQ Team 2008 are continuing to make visits to all Isle of Wight schools as part of their promotion for the SQ2SQ Charity Cycle Challenge 2008 and the roll out of British Cycling's Go-Ride scheme for all Isle of Wight pupils.
