SAINT-GOBAIN 350th ANNIVERSARY BIKE RIDE
Fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
From the 10th to 13th July 2015, colleagues from across the Saint-Gobain Group are coming together to take on the gruelling challenge of cycling over 400 miles in four days; from London to the Saint-Gobain Archives in Blois, France.
In celebration of the Group's 350th Anniversary (http://www.saint-gobain.co.uk/saint-gobain-350-years/) Andy Plant, Dominic Waring and Budhi Chilkoti from Saint-Gobain Abrasives will join 117 other riders to push ourselves to the limits (and possibly beyond!)
This is not going to be a comfortable summer jaunt. It's four hard days in the saddle which is going to require adherence to a rigorous training programme - one that will require sacrifice and support from family and friends. The demands of four torturous back-to-back days means we'll need to be training most evenings and weekends in preparation.
But it's a challenge we are up for! We're raising money for the Saint-Gobain Together Partnership (http://www.saint-gobain.co.uk/about-us/charity-partners/) which this year is supporting two charities that do amazing work: Macmillan Cancer Support and the Irish Cancer Society.
We will be posting updates on our progress, so please drop in from time to time; we would love your support….
