Moorhouse Consulting compete in third charity 'Bike Ride' for Alzheimer's Society

Moorhouse consulting are organising a sponsored 'bike run' that will see them travel 480 kilometres by foot and bike in just 48 hours.

This will be the third annual 'Bike Run' that the team of keen runners and cyclists from award-winning programme management firm, Moorhouse Consulting, have completed, having raised an impressive £23K for various charities so far.

In previous years the team travelled west from London to Cornwall, but this year they are trying a different route, and will leave from Gretna, Scotland and take in Oxenholme, Huddersfield and Loughborough, before arriving at their base in Westminster, London, on Sunday afternoon.

Managing Director Dom Moorhouse said,

The Bike Run is something that our whole company get involved in, be it physically taking part in one of three support crews or, importantly, supporting the fundraising effort back at head office.

This year we hope to raise another £15K for our chosen charities - Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity, Alzheimer's Society and Sustainable Futures in Africa.

Dom said that family and friends were spurring them on by guessing how far they would travel in 48 hours.

Dom said,

It will be a physically demanding challenge but our team spirit is fantastic and everyone is keen to beat our 2006 and 2007 efforts. Each year the team raises the bar with this challenge, and the event is all the richer for the involvement of our clients, partners, friends and family who all join in to support us.

We are confident that, with a bit of luck, we can achieve the ambitious target of bike-running from Scotland to London in under 48 hours.

Let's just hope that our bikes and legs hold up, and the weather is kind to us!
