Scientifica’s inaugural charity cycle ride to raise money for Alzheimer’s Research UK was successfully completed by a number of employees, customers, family and friends on Sunday 5 June.
The SciCle ride has raised £555 for Alzheimer’s Research UK so far.
Keith Watson, Managing Director of Scienctifica, said: “We are very pleased to support this event – Scientifica’s business is all about supporting basic research in life sciences, so we know the good work that Alzheimer’s Research UK does. The event worked out very well with a great group of riders of all different levels taking part. The weather was kind to us and everyone had a good time. This is the first one we have held. We hope it will become an annual event, and we are all now looking forward to the 2017 edition!”
The event included two rides. The more challenging ride started at Scientifica’s manufacturing facility in Maidenhead, Berkshire, traveling 110 km across the south of England to the headquarters in Uckfield, East Sussex. The second ride began in Horsham, West Sussex following the last 30 km of the first route to Scientifica’s main offices.
Rebecca Futrall, from Alzheimer’s Research UK, said: “I am thrilled that the event went well and that you were lucky with the weather on the day – hopefully not too hot for all those taking part. That is great news on the money raised – thank you so much to everyone involved and that donated.”
Alzheimer’s Research UK powers world-class studies that focus on the prevention, treatment and cure of dementia, an increasingly important issue in our society.
Upon arrival in Uckfield, all riders were presented with a medal by Uckfield Mayor Cllr Louise Eastwood and Deputy Mayor Cllr Duncan Bennett.
Scientifica is happy to have been able to support the work of Alzheimer’s Research UK and looks forward to more successful fundraising events in the future.
