Not satisfied with completing the recent London to Paris Charity Bike Ride arranged by Lloyds of London; Peter Oakes, Head of Fraud at Hill Dickinson, has committed to raising £10,000 for The Christie Charity’s ‘On the Road to Recovery’ campaign. The Christie is one of Europe’s leading cancer treatment centres and funds raised by the campaign will be used to buy a mobile chemotherapy unit, enabling patients in the North West region to be treated closer to home.
This September, Peter will cycle five stages of the famous Tour de France in five days. A feat of physical and mental endurance, he will cover over 100km each day to complete a course that includes L’Alpe D’Huez and Mont Ventoux.
Commenting on the challenge Peter said: “I’ve no doubt it’s going to be a gruelling five days, but put in context, nowhere near as daunting as a cancer diagnosis and the challenge of enduring chemotherapy treatment. I’m delighted to be taking part in this extremely worthwhile fund raising activity – training starts again now. If you would like to support me in raising money to fund the mobile chemotherapy unit please visit http://ow.ly/lSy0W Thanks in advance for your help.”
