This year, FUCHS UK will be following in the famous footsteps of Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, with two employees attempting to complete a gruelling 4000 mile round trip to Kiev in the Ukraine, in just 2 weeks, on the back of a motorbike!

But Norman Burgess and Richard Halhead haven’t gone insane; it's being done in the name of charity, with all proceeds raised going to the UNICEF Kids in Kiev appeal, which supports children who have been physically and emotionally affected by the Chernobyl disaster.

The event, which leaves the UK in June 2008, sees 19 riders travelling in convoy across several Northern European countries, including France, Germany, Italy, Austria and the Czech Republic.
