On 17 July, Rob Moxon will join with nine others to ride 440 miles from their HQ in Bath to Paris in aid of Breakthrough Breast Cancer, a cause close to their hearts.
What makes the feat particularly hard for Rob is that, since his late teens, he’s suffered from a rare condition known as graphic designism. This means Rob finds it hard to communicate with sane human beings, let alone ride a bike.
However, with the help of a special interpreter, Rob said:
“I have worked on the Future Sport portfolio since late 2009 and have been awe-struck by the sporting achievements of my colleagues. Not only are they incredibly talented media content producers but they are also athletes of spectacular strength, speed and stamina, as any of you who know them will appreciate.
So it is with some trepidation that I am joining nine of them in this huge challenge. I have gone from riding just a few miles to and from work to tackling rides of three or four hours every weekend and there’s plenty more pain to come.
Not a penny of your donation will go towards Mars bars to fuel my journey. It all goes towards helping beat breast cancer, a condition which – as some of my team-mates can testify – can hit any woman at any age. That's why we're putting ourselves through this.
Please dig deep and help us reach our target.
Thank you.”
