On 22 May 2017 there was a tragic attack following the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester where 22 innocent adults and children sadly lost their lives

One of those victims was an Aviva employee, Kelly Brewster. Kelly
was a member of the staff medical expenses claims team in Sheffield and had worked for Aviva for over 7 years. She was a much loved and respected member of the team

In memory of Kelly, a combined team of volunteers from Aviva and
their key partner brokers have taken it on themselves to raise £50,000 for the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital (as chosen by Kelly’s family) to thank them for their support for Kelly’s niece, Hollie Booth, and many other young victims who were treated there following the attack

Their fundraising efforts will involve cycling 100 miles from
Manchester to Sheffield (via Bakewell in the Peak District) with the event
taking place on Wednesday 6 September

The route will start at the Aviva offices in Manchester and
challenge the core group of volunteers, Gareth Hemming, Steve Whitelock and Fraser Edmond from Aviva and Rob Worrell who on completion of their gruelling journey will finish at the Aviva offices in Sheffield where Kelly worked

They will be joined along the way by a number of additional volunteers – these include Karen Jackman and Mark Noble from Aviva, as well as the friends and family of Kelly who will be there to offer their support and help the team complete their journey

We would appreciate any donation you could give, large or small
as anything would help us meet our overall target of £50,000

Congratulations to everyone that took part in the event on Wednesday in memory of Kelly. So proud of all the riders and volunteers who gave up their time to make the day possible and raise money for this very special cause.
