On Sunday 14th July, a team of cyclists from Manchester based industrial coatings manufacturer, HMG Paints Ltd, completed the 62 mile journey from Manchester to Blackpool in aid of The Christie Charity.
Setting off at 7am in Manchester, the twelve cyclists, ages ranging from 23 to 46, braved the blistering heat and multiple tyre punctures on the way, with the majority finishing in less than five hours.
Paddy Dyson, Marketing Manager at HMG Paints, took part in the cycle and was thrilled with HMG Paints’ latest fundraising achievement: “Considering the lack of training everyone had done beforehand, everyone performed brilliantly. We were all really spurred on to raise money for such a fantastic cause as The Christie, and I’m proud of everyone who cycled, cheered us on , and donated.”
So far, the team have raised over £500 pounds for The Christie Charity. To donate, please visit http://www.justgiving.com/HMGpaints.
