Discover Adventure, which operates fundraising challenges worldwide for charities,
has published its new Open Challenges brochure for 2007-08, detailing events in 
which supporters can raise funds for the charity of their own choice.
Open Challenges
are designed to offer a wider choice of events than those offered by individual 
charities. With Open Challenges supporters can raise funds for their favourite charity
rather than be required to raise funds for the official charity of a single-charity
event.

The 17 Open Challenges in 2007-08 include new trips to Patagonia, Chile; Vietnam;
Hadrian’s Wall, UK; Ethiopia; and Lake Titicaca to Machu Picchu in Peru.

In addition, existing trips such as the Inca Trail trek in Peru, the Great Wall 
of China trek, and the Kilimanjaro summit trek are also available.

Managing Director Jonathan Bryan says that the Open Challenge events continue to
prove popular: “increasingly this year we’ve had to turn people away because the
trips have filled so quickly” he said.

The trips are designed so that any charity can benefit from this type of event without
having the pressure of trying to recruit their own large group. Charities do not
pay a penny of their supporters’ tour costs until they have received their fundraising
due. Discover Adventure ensures that the charity keeps 60% of all monies raised.

To add even more flexibility, Discover Adventure allows Open Challenge participants
to opt to pay their own tour costs, ensuring that 100% of every penny they raise
goes to their chosen charity.

Discover Adventure estimates that £821,800 will have been raised for 63 different
charities through its Open Challenges programme by the end of 2006.
