Story
George Whittaker & Jack Denning-James have challenged themselves to ride over 200 miles in 3 days (Wednesday 25th - Friday 27th August 2021) to visit all 16 Symonds and Sampson Offices by bike in order to raise money for Mind, Prostate Cancer UK and Movember.
With the release of Lockdown on the 19th July we felt it was time to raise some money for the benefit of mental health charities in the UK and celebrate our freedom by cycling 207 miles in 3 days across 4 counties to 16 different offices. Covid 19 has highlighted mental health challenges for 1000s of people across the UK and more people look to charities like Mind and Movember for support during times of need.
We have also chosen to support Prostate Cancer UK for the invaluable care they give to men across the country, with particular thanks from George and his family.
Our route starts in Devon at the Tiverton office and carries on through Dorset and Somerset to Ilminster, Axminster, Beaminster, Bridport, Dorchester, Yeovil, Sherbourne, Sturminster Newton, Blandford, Wimborne and Frome before crossing into Wiltshire to Salisbury and finishing at the Devizes office.
