Andrew Glover – Ride 4 Hope
Andrew Glover and John Olkiewicz from West Yorkshire Windows, have completed the Ride4Hope charity bike ride with the rest of the GM Fundraising team.
The Ride 4 Hope team consists of 12 cyclists from the glazing, construction and related industries, each having spent nearly 18 months training for this important and worthy challenge.
The 3000 mile bike ride from the East Coast to the West Coast of the USA has been a gruelling event, but for a very worthy cause.
Many of the cyclists will have already completed the Top 2 Bottom ride in 2005 which was a 974 mile trip from John O’Groats to Lands End. In 2006 several of the team also completed the Tower 2 Tower ride from Eiffel Tower, Paris to Blackpool Tower. Each of the Ride 4 Hope riders will demonstrate a commitment to achieving both personal goals and those for the raising of important funds for Hope House Children’s Hospices.
Hope House is a children’s hospice organisation providing care for terminally ill children and support for their families. Hope House has two hospices – at Oswestry, Shropshire and Conwy, North Wales – and also offers care in the family home. Support and counselling is offered to parents and other family members for as long as necessary.
Andrew has been updating the Conservatory Outlet team with daily emails, and today he’s relieved to have completed the challenge.
Well done Andrew and John!!
