£50K raised for Asthma UK and going strong!
8am on Saturday 5th June 2010 local Corsham residents were lining the streets to wish the 26 riders taking part in their 174 mile challenge to Crickhowell, Wales and back raising money for Asthma UK in memory of 10 year old Antonia Thomas. Dozens of children got on their bikes with Jennifer Thomas, mother of Antonia, to lead a noisy send-off and get the riders in the mood for their challenge ahead.
All the monies raised will go to Asthma UK supply Asthma nurses across Wiltshire with the resources they need to carry out their work.
In an interview Mr Thomas who spearheaded the event said "It would have been Antonia's birthday. We miss her and think about her all the time, but we celebrate her life. People are saying what are we going to do next because we have raised so much money."
The men arrived in Crickhowell on Saturday night where family members joined them for a dinner in Antonia's memory, and returned to Corsham on Sunday bruised and aching.
"The ride was emotionally and physically demanding but the effort by everyone has been immense, with support from all corners of the local community" said a cycle weary Andrew Huxham "I believe that we have already smashed our target figure and raised 10 times the amount."
There is still time to donate, if you would like to take a look at http://justgiving.com/Andrew-Huxham or contact Partners Employment European Recruitment Limited for more details.
