What a fantastic turnout we had at our third annual cycling event,
Champions of CycleSport Dinner
in London last Thursday. Supported by UK’s No.1 online cycle and
tri-sport retailer, Wiggle it certainly was a night to remember as our
650 guests were joined by some of the biggest names in cycling - Chris
Boardman MBE, Dave Brailsford CBE, Joanna Rowsell, Rochelle Gilmore,
Jonathan Tiernan-Locke, Jody Cundy and Rob Hayles.
Guests celebrated a golden year of cycling with the chance to mingle
with their heroes and the event raised an incredible £180,000 which will
help fund
vital medical research for sick babies and children. Children
like:
-
Katie, who was born two months early and needed resuscitating at birth
-
Cieran, who was left with deafness, epilepsy and cerebral palsy because of meningitis
-
Jack who was diagnosed with a brain tumour at just 14 months old.
Sky TV’s Dermot Murnaghan, also a keen cyclist who’s taken part in
several of our bike rides, took time out of his busy schedule to
interview the cycling champions. Joanna Rowsell, our Cycling Ambassador,
said: “What a great year for cycling! The Champions of CycleSport
Dinner was a true celebration of this. I’m really excited to be Cycling
Ambassador for such a worthwhile charity and one that is so passionate
about cycling.”
