Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

On Sunday 25th April 2010, a team of four John Lewis Partners set off in an attempt to cycle around as many John Lewis stores as possible over a seven day period.  The challenge was in support of the Partnership’s Charity of the Year, Beating Bowel Cancer.

The team consisted of Mark Hastings, Ollie Sparks, Alex Stevens (all from John Lewis High Wycombe) and Duncan Robinson (John Lewis Direct), ably supported by our back-up driver, Ashley Reynolds.  We visited seventeen stores in total including Watford, Welwyn, Cambridge, Peterborough, Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield, Cheadle, Trafford, Liverpool, Solihull, Milton Keynes, Brent Cross, Oxford Street, Peter Jones and Kingston stores before finally returning to High Wycombe at 4:50pm on Saturday 1st May 2010.  All in all, we cycled a distance in excess of 600 miles and climbed over 20,000 feet in a week … not bad for four amateur cyclists!

We would like as a team to express our thanks to all those who have supported, encouraged and sponsored us throughout this challenge.  Your support has and will be greatly appreciated not only by us, but also by Beating Bowel Cancer, the charity that we as a business are championing throughout 2010.  Even though we have now completed the challenge, you can still donate through this website.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe – they will never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, JustGiving will send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks in anticipation of your continued support!
