Almost 50 people from Hirebase and Buildbase branches covered more than 1,000 miles for the companies\u2019 chosen charity Cancer Research UK (CRUK).<\/p>\n
The Hirebase \u201cTwo-wheel challenge\u201d allowed teams of staff to choose any two-wheeled vehicle to complete 17 stages between Hirebase\u2019s mostly northerly branch in Shetland to its most southerly in Exmouth.<\/p>\n
By the time the final stage was completed, the intrepid fundraisers had raised \u00a317,595 for CRUK\u2019s work with prostate cancer.<\/p>\n
Among the most notable performances of the challenge was Falkirk\u2019s Buildbase manager, Steven Clark, cycling a 94 mile-stage alone.<\/p>\n
Rick Bauer, sales and commercial director at Hirebase, said: \u201cOn the final stage of the challenge, we even paid a visit to the Cancer Research shop in Exmouth and there was quite a welcome party.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether the weather was beautiful or raining, windy and cold, the teams were determined to complete the challenge and add to the money already raised for our charity.\u201d<\/p>\n
