Satmap Charity & Sponsorship
The Active 10 is the GPS of choice for many people attempting charity challenges.
It shows your exact location so you don't need to worry about your route or location but you can focus on realising your challenge instead.
As well as location information, the Active 10 gives detailed trip statistics to encourage you on your way and show your progress.
Our charity page features some inspiring challenges and Satmap is pleased to have been able to help in a small way with map loans and product discounts.
We're sure you will enjoy reading their blogs or websites and hope you may also be inspired to donate to a cause that impresses you.

Pete n' Nick's Cycle Around Iceland
Braving the fall-out from the volcano, Pete and Nick are cycling around Iceland to raise money for Reach, a charity for children with hand or arm deficiency.
This is an impressive 850 mile (1368 km) distance and all the more challenging as they expect to endure bad roads, steep gradients and unpredictable weather.
Please support them at http://www.aroundiceland.co.uk
