Five Toolstation colleagues have completed the British Heart Foundation’s (BHF) Off Road Bike Ride, a 61-mile cycle from London to Brighton, helping raise over £3,000 for the retailer’s charity partner.
The off-road route, which started at Apps Court Farm and finished at Hove Lawns, was taken on by Toolstation’s B2B team including business development managers Damien Torrence, Ricky Smith and Cara Kane, key account manager Stuart Smith and store manager Matt Yates on September 19, joining over 1,400 cyclists for the official event.
The five colleagues helped raise over £3,000 for the charity via their JustGiving pages, whilst BHF’s own event page raised over £75,000, helping fund pioneering medical research into cardiovascular disease.
Torrence comments “It was an absolutely epic journey with some amazing views and fantastic people met along the way – and all done for a great cause. I hope to continue participating in these fundraising events to help protect the hearts of our colleagues and customers who do so much for our communities.”
