Hegarty hits £2k mark in fundraising journey by completing a virtual cycle challenge

Last week, the Hegarty team came together to take on a virtual cycling challenge touring our 4 offices as one of our 50 community and charity events happening this year to mark our 50th anniversary.

Throughout the day on Friday, members of the Hegarty team hopped on a bike to do their part in completing our cycling challenge. 

The goal was to reach 111 miles in just 10 hours, the distance taking us on a journey around our 4 offices; from Peterborough to Market Deeping and back, then to Stamford and back, and finally, to Oakham and back. After just 7 and a half hours we reached this goal, but we didn't stop there. 

With our new office in Bourne opening later this year, we added the distance to Bourne and back to Peterborough onto the journey and kept on pedalling until we reached the 10-hour mark. 

By the end of the day, the Hegarty team had reached an amazing 150 miles, smashing our initial target!

The whole day was of course about raising money for our 4 local charities of the year:  Sports Connections Foundation in Peterborough, MindSpace in Stamford, Pepper’s A Safe Place in Oakham and Dementia Support in Market Deeping – all benefiting from a fundraising boost from us in 2024.

With donations on our GiveWheel page online from clients, colleagues, friends and family, the charity cycle ride helped us to pass the £2,000 mark, edging us ever closer to our target of £10,000 for the year. 

We still need your help though! If you can, please donate via our GiveWheel and help us raise as much as we can for our 4 amazing charities and support the work that they do in our local areas. 

We still have lots of community and charity events planned for the rest of the year which you can view here, and follow along on our social media channels too.
