Eco-Challenge // Teams // Team Schroders




 Team Schroders (UNITED KINGDOM) // Number 36
The team is racing to raise money for "Reach," a charity for children born with upper limb deficiencies, as Lester's daughter was born without a right hand. Lester is the team alarm clock, as his teammates are unable to wake themselves from the short sleep breaks during the event. Sarah is one of just four athletes who have competed in every Eco-Challenge. She replaces Vivien Kilgour, who has raced with this team for the last 4 years. Vivien became unable to race just prior to Eco-Challenge Sabah 2000 due to injury.
