This year, DSAuk is proud to have one of their members, Maisie Stocks taking part in the BBC Children in Need Rickshaw Challenge. Maisie is from the South Central region, she is an active member of DSAuk, who competes in national events and helping to run the South Central region with her mum and dad. 

Maisie has been training hard to get her fitness tip top to take on the Rickshaw Challenge and help raise money for Children in Need. DSAuk has received funding support from Children in Need for many years and it is great to be able to give back to Children in Need in this way.

Over six days they will cycle 500 miles from Calais, France to BBC media centre in Manchester on a custom-made Rickshaw bike. The team of riders, all of whom have been supported by BBC Children in Need funded projects, will push themselves to the limit, battling steep hills and braving the elements to raise as much money as possible.  

The Rickshaw Challenge 2018 takes place from 9-16 November 2018. 

DSAuk wishes Maisie and the team the very best of luck and will be supporting them all the way!
