A team of 50 riders from HomeServe rode 200km from Preston to Walsall in 48 hours to raise £25,000 for the company’s charity partner Marie Curie Cancer Care.

The money raised will go towards HomeServe’s £1 million donation pledge during it’s three year partnership with the charity.

They set off from HomeServe’s Preston site and rode 105km in a day as they travelled through the villages of Lancashire and Cheshire before starting again the next day to ride 90km through Staffordshire to arrive at HomeServe in Walsall.
