The team at Anglia Factors, Suffolk’s leading kitchen, bathroom and interiors specialist, have welcomed back owner Daniel Barr after he raised almost £5,000 for St Elizabeth Hospice by cycling from London to Paris.
He was accompanied by his son Alex and a team of other Suffolk riders for the 300-mile journey, all raising money for the Ipswich-based charity which improves the lives of local people with progressive illnesses.
The pair were so successful at drumming up sponsorship that their JustGiving page was one of the most successful of September. Out of 83,542 fundraisers, Daniel and Alex were in the top 1%.
Daniel Barr explains: “St Elizabeth Hospice does incredible work to improve the lives of seriously ill people and their families. We were very happy to take the opportunity to undertake a father-son challenge to raise money for them.” He added: “I’d very much like to thank everyone who has sponsored us on this challenge helping us to raise a fair amount for this great cause.”
The cycle ride was supplemented by other fundraising efforts for the hospice by the Anglia Factors team, including a pasta making masterclass with celebrity chef Paul Foster.
The fundraising page remains open and donations can be made at this link.
