From 20th – 22nd May 2008, an intrepid band of Bluefinians (usually office based technology consultants) took part in a 3-day cycle ride from Liverpool to London, with the aim of raising £5000 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Quotes from the team prior to the challenge: Nick Heath: "I have been engaged in a punishing training schedule with the Bluefin S-Max Support Vehicle for over two weeks. Initially practising with short drives of about 5 miles, I have now completed a 75 mile run along similar roads to those we will be using in May. I’m now quietly confident of outpacing the others come the main event. In further preparation in the coming weeks, I will be checking out the inventory in the first aid kit, learning to use the sat-nav, testing the 12V cool box and watching the cycling on Channel 4." Peter Conway: "As a keen cyclist this is a great opportunity to raise money for Macmillan in memory of my Dad who died recently from bladder cancer." Macmillan Cancer Support improves the lives of people affected by cancer. As well as pushing for better cancer care, they offer practical, emotional, social, medical and financial support for those affected by cancer. Macmillan nurses meet with people as soon as possible after a cancer diagnosis, and help patients for as long as needed. |
