Fundraising boost for DPL charity cycle ride team

28 January 2014

A further £500 has been donated to the fundraising efforts of the Dransfield Properties charity cycle team by the investment management firm Brewin Dolphin.

With this latest contribution to the team’s chosen charities the 2013 cyclists have raised a total of £27,651 after pedalling from Dubrovnik in Croatia to Trieste in Italy.

A 16 strong team cycled the 420 miles in September last year. The company covers a leg of its Tour of Europe every year after starting the charity cycle ride in 2007 when the riders covered a route from London to Paris.

Since the ride first started in 2007 more than £270,000 has been raised for charity and  around 2,500 miles have been cycled.

The money raised in last year's ride has been donated to help fund a Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research project in Leeds and also to support the work of the St Andrew’s Children’s Hospice in Grimsby, as well as supporting smaller community projects.

The team are now planning next year’s route from Trieste to Munich with the aim of getting back to London by 2022 where the annual challenge started.

Mark Dransfield,  Managing Director of Dransfield Properties, said:   “We’d like to thank everyone who has sponsored and supported us so far, we really do appreciate every single penny that people donate towards our chosen charities.”
