Ring sponsors Noordkaap Challenge 2016 to raise money for the Red Cross

Ring is sponsoring the Noordkaap Challenge, which sees 65 adventurers driving 6,500km across Europe to raise money for the International Red Cross. The crews are aiming to reach the North Cape – the most northern point of Europe – in just 12 days. They face ice-covered roads, temperatures as low as -32° and snow storms – all to raise money to combat child mortality caused by pneumonia.

Ring has supplied the teams with smart chargers, HID headlamps, worklights, inspection lamps, dash cameras and more to help keep the vehicles in good enough shape to reach their goal. Setting off on 7th December, they will battle harsh winter conditions, near constant darkness and mechanical challenges to raise as much as they can. The teams will also complete additional challenges to get extra donations for the cause.

The event was started by Dutch Radio Station 3FM Serious Request in 2011, and has grown in popularity in the Netherlands over the last five years.
