Car technicians complete mammouth bike ride for charity
Three body shop specialists from Nottingham Volkswagen have completed one of their hardest life challenges after cycling 85 miles for charity.
Richard Dorito, 33, along with his work colleagues Lee Warnes, 38, and Daniel Boyle, 26, all from Nottingham, cycled from Loughborough to Skegness on Saturday 15th May to raise funds for Bone Cancer Research.
The cycling trio joined 200 other cyclists on the day and managed to complete the journey in an exhausting nine hours, collectively raising over £1,000 for the charity.
Richard said: “We were inspired to complete the challenge after a friend’s son died of bone cancer. It is such a devastating illness we all felt we wanted to do something to help raise awareness for the charity.
“It was an amazing experience, a tough day mentally and physically but it was worth the effort knowing that the money raised would help fund research into the causes and treatment of bone cancer.
“It is with thanks to the team at Nottingham Volkswagen that we were able to raise as much as we did. Everyone really got behind us.”

THREE PEAKS CHALLENGERS RAISE OVER £2500 FOR CHARITY
Three friends joined forces to take on a notoriously tough climbing challenge raising just over £2,500 for children’s charities.
Andrew Harmer, Scott Taylor and Matthew Hall, from Nottingham, had all experienced a personal loss which led to their decision to take on the charity trek.
The trio committed themselves to climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon - the three highest mountains in UK – all in under 24 hours raising funds for the LAMBS Appeal and the Meningitis Trust.
After months of gruelling training, the three men completed the challenge in 23 hours and 25 minutes.
Andrew, who was given a generous donation from his former employer, Nottingham Volkswagen, raised £1,028 for the LAMBS Appeal which provides memory boxes for parents who lost their babies in the early stages of pregnancy.
Set up by two midwifes who are based at the Queen Medical Centre Hospital; the LAMBS Appeal provides an unique service for parents who tragically experience the loss of their child before 24 weeks.
Scott and Matthew successfully raised £1500 for the Meningitis Trust.
Andrew, said: “We put a lot of effort into training for the day but it was still extremely tough, definitely the most physically demanding thing any of us have ever done.
“Crossing the finish line was an exhilarating feeling and we would like to thank everyone especially Nottingham Volkswagen for supporting us so generously.”
Declan Oglesby of Nottingham Volkswagen added: “We were happy to support Andrew, he may not be a member of staff but he is still a familiar face and well liked individual. We are pleased to have helped his fund raising efforts.”
The trio started the challenge at Ben Nevis in Scotland, taking two hours 45 minutes to climb the 1,344 metres to its summit and two hours to descend. They travelled to 978 metre Scafell Pike in the Lake District, which took them two hours 45 minutes to climb and one hour 15 minutes to descend. Finally, they climbed 1,085 metre Snowdon in Wales, taking them two hours and a further one hour 15 minutes to descend.
