We understand the financial pressures that everyone is currently under but would really appreciate your support for our fundraising.  We will be splitting the fundraising between The Samaritans, Cancer Research UK and The British Heart Foundation.

We have nominated The Samaritans as one of our chosen charities in support of their excellent work and in memory of our friend and colleague Andy Manning who sadly passed away last year. Andy volunteered with the Samaritans for many years and it seems a fitting gesture to dedicate the ride to Andy whilst supporting a charity that meant so much to him.

The company has generously agreed to charity match our fundraising up to £500 per team member.

To further increase the benefit to the charities please complete the gift aid section with your donation.

100% of your donation will reach the charities as the event costs are being met by the company and the team members.

Many thanks for your support.
