Story
On the 20th July 2016 Kate Roberts, a Partner of DTM, and Norman McGarry will be taking part in the Skyline London to Paris Charity Bike Ride Challenge of a Lifetime and are hoping to raise a generous amount in support of their chosen charity, Wirral Hospice St John's, which was DTM Legal's chosen charity for 2015 - 2016. They are covering the costs of the trip themselves so all donations will go to their chosen charity.
About the event
