General InterestYou are in: Southern Counties > Features > General Interest > The Great Euro Freebie Challenge  The Great Euro Freebie ChallengeMost of us would think twice about trying to get to the end of our street, without cash in our pockets. But what about going a little bit further....with no money, no food and no way of getting home? Meet Kris Mole, from Southwick. He's the 24 year old brains behind the Great Euro Freebie Challenge in aid of Cancer Research.  It's not your average charity mission. Forget getting his relatives to sponsor him on a comfortable bicycle toddle to Machu Picchu. Or a day of bucket jiggling in the heated surroundings of the Holmbush Centre. No, Kris has chosen a rather different path for his fundraising. A path which, if he is successful, will take him to every EU capital on the mainland continent. And by our reckoning, that's 25 (excluding Valletta, Malta and Dublin, Ireland).  And all without a penny in his pocket! He's not doing too badly to date. He has spent 115 days on the road, visited 16 capital cities (3 non-EU) and covered a distance of 5798 miles (9330 kilometres). He's made loads of new friends, all of whom have been supporting him along the way. Related LinksBBC Southern Counties Radio interviews with Kris
