South London Travis Perkins branch manager, Richard Galloway, is taking on the almost 1,000-mile cycle from Land’s End to John o’Groats over two weeks to raise money for Alzheimer’s Society.
The 59-year-old has been working at Travis Perkins for the last 28 years in various positions, and is a keen cyclist after having taken up the sport seven years ago.
Galloway said: “Alzheimer’s is devastating. I have seen those I am closest to, who have done so many things in their lives, suffer from the disease and it is heart-breaking to see.
“The challenge of going from Land’s End to John o’Groats has always been something I have thought about doing but to do it and raise money at the same time is a win-win.”
Richard is set to cycle between 60 and 80 miles each day for a two-week period at the end of May.
