Want to join a Travel 2 fam trip?
Agents are being given the chance to join a fam trip with Travel 2 if they can guess how long it takes the operator’s managing director Andy Freeth to complete the London 10k for ABTA LifeLine.
Freeth, 38, is hoping the sweepstake contest will encourage more people to sponsor him in the charity race.
"While I’m no Mo Farah and can hardly consider myself a gym rat, this is a cause that is both professionally and personally really close to my heart," he said.
"ABTA LifeLine carries out valuable work whether it be financial support and disability funding to the needy, property repairs and back to work initiatives, the ABTA Lifeline reaches far and wide.
"Over the past couple of months I’ve been pounding the pavement and hope that when I cross that finish line in July more than a few people will be surprised at my time. If you’re not convinced then now’s your chance to prove me wrong."
To make a donation please visit http://www.justgiving.com/AndyFreeth and leave a message on the page guessing when he will cross the finishing line. Agents can also make predictions and follow Freeth’s progress by using the #howfastisfreeth hashtag.
The ABTA LifeLine 10K takes place on 13 July 2014 and all funds raised will go towards helping people in the travel industry when they need it the most.
