Colleagues at Wilo UK have raised £8,377 for Maggie’s cancer support centre in Nottingham after taking part in a five-day cycling challenge that saw the team collectively cycle over 1,700 miles.
Wilo colleagues virtually cycled from Wilo UK HQ, in Burton-Upon-Trent, Staffordshire, to the new state-of-the-art Wilopark factory in Dortmund, Germany.
Because of the current travel restrictions put in place due to the pandemic, the team made up the total mileage ‘virtually’ on static exercise bikes set up at Wilo’s HQ and out and about individually on road bikes.
Maggie’s provides free cancer support and information in centres across the UK and online. Maggie’s centres help people to take back control when cancer turns life upside down, with professional support for anything from treatment side effects to money worries.
Lee Tebbatt, managing director of Wilo UK, said: “The team has been out on their bikes come rain or shine and have really embraced the challenge. It’s been great to see everyone come together as a team [albeit with some friendly competition] to help our local cancer support centre. We’re really impressed with everyone that took part and are so proud to be able to donate £8,377 to Maggie’s Nottingham.”
