Outdoor retailer Mountain Warehouse is offering a prize of £5,000 to charity for
the individual who wins their Outdoor Challenge this year.

 

To enter the competition individuals have to be taking part in an outdoor challenge
during 2013. This could be a sponsored walk, run, cycle, expedition or similar endeavour.

They are invited to share their story, which will be displayed on the [Mountain Warehouse](http://www.mountainwarehouse.com/charity)
website, and the public will then vote for the winner.

 

Mark Neale, founder of Mountain Warehouse, said: “We are inundated with sponsorship
requests and stories about people attempting these fantastic expeditions and challenges
to raise money for charity. We wanted the opportunity to share their stories, get
the public involved and give something back to these very worthwhile causes.”

 

As well as offering a £5,000 prize to one charity, Mountain Warehouse is giving 
all entrants 20% off their next purchase at Mountain Warehouse, to help them prepare
for their challenge.

 

The company has also teamed up with online fundraising platform JustGiving to promote
the Charity Challenge to their network of individual fundraisers.
