To raise awareness of mental health issues and also much needed funds for Dalkia UK’s chosen charity, MIND, a team of 14 colleagues from Dalkia’s International division are cycling from London to Paris in three days!

This is no mean feat, the intrepid cyclists will cover 424km and climb to heights of 3,700m – that’s equivalent to cycling 3 times up Ben Nevis in Scotland, 1.5 times up Rysy the highest mountain in Poland or taking on the Tour de France’s most challenging climb Col du Galibier 1.5 times – phew!

Taking part in this challenge for Mind are:

• Jacek Chodkowski,Dalkia Polska

• Antoni Kędzierski, Dalkia Polska

• Mariusz Pacwa, Dalkia Polska

• Noel Clancy, Dalkia UK

• Benjamin Lemaitre, Dalkia UK
