One of our directors here at OfficeProfiles will this month cycle coast to coast in support of the Children’s Cancer charity CLIC Sargent.
Marvin Edson has been busy training for this huge ride along with 3 of his closest friends for the past 6 months and has gone a long way to raising the £2000 target that he set out to achieve.
CLIC Sargent has been providing support and care for both children suffering from Cancer as well as their close families in a range of ways including; during treatment where they provide specialist nurses, homes from home and play specialists, holidays, grants and community support services along with all important after care treatment.
The ride itself is thought to be in the region of 140 miles (final route still not decided) which the team are hoping to complete in 2 days; Marvin commented “Through personal family experience we have seen the fantastic work that CLIC Sargent do in the difficult setting of Children;s Cancer treatment, the help and support they bring to the children and families in the most desperate of times cannot be summed up using any words other than their work is completely invaluable and that they need every penny of support that the public can offer”.
He went on to add “From a non-cyclist perspective cycling nearly 150 miles in less than 48 hours seemed like some feat but I have been training pretty hard and hope to enjoy as much of the ride as I can before the saddle soreness sets in!! – jesting aside what these kids have to go through is incredible and if a few blokes on their bikes does something to raise awareness for the great team at CLIC Sargent and all drum up some much needed fund whilst we are doing it then we will be over the moon”.
