This year’s event will raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis unit at Temple Street Children’s Hospital, which aims to improve treatment services for children with cystic fibrosis, a disease affecting one in 1500 births in Ireland every year. Better treatment at Temple Street can help to extend the life expectancy of young people living with cystic fibrosis. Last year, 28 teams raised over €30,000 euros for Temple Street. Organisers ACT Training have set the entrants a target of €50,000 euros in 2007.

The 4x4 Challenge for charity is a 48 hour driving and navigational event with some off road sections. Teams work from Ordnance Survey Discovery Series maps plus a road book, which is devised for them by the organisers. They navigate around some 800 kms of countryside, finding hidden clues and completing set tasks in a ‘treasure hunt’ style challenge.

The third annual 4x4 Challenge For Charity takes place somewhere in Ireland on 6 and 7 October. To register visit www.4x4challenge.org
