A team of 15 partners and staff from both the Sheffield and Chesterfield offices have been in training over the winter in preparation for their 170 mile ‘Way of the Roses’ charity cycle ride later this year.
The marathon route which starts in Morecambe and finishes in Bridlington is a highly popular yet extremely challenging cycling route. The team who are raising funds for Lymphoma research, plan to complete the challenge in 3 days covering between 40 and 65 miles each day.
Event organiser, Adrian Dunkley, Senior tax manager comments ‘2015 marks Shorts’ 125th anniversary and we wanted to organise a charity event which would coincide. Sadly, over Christmas 2014 Shorts lost a long serving and greatly respected colleague, Brian Sewell to Lymphoma. It made sense that we complete this challenge, whilst raising money for this extremely worthwhile cause in his memory; it is fantastic that so many of the staff and partners are taking part.’
The challenge is scheduled to set off on Friday 8 May 2015, from Morecambe, aiming to arrive in Bridlington on Sunday evening.
Donations can be made by visiting the team’s Just Giving page at https://www.justgiving.com/shorts-accountants1/ or by texting the code BINE75 with the donation amount to 70070
