Story

Mercedes-Benz Vans Ride Again

In 2017 our mighty Mercedes-Benz Vans riders swopped four wheels for two and cycled 100k's from the streets of Manchester to the South Promenade in Blackpool and raised over £13,500 for our charity Parkinson's UK.

In 2018 we will be undertaking this epic ride again, and in addition to raising funds for Parkinson's UK, we are also fundraising for our colleague and friend Martyn Donnelly who we sadly lost to cancer in 2017.  Martyn was a keen cyclist, and an active fundraiser for Cancer Research, and we are delighted that the friends and family of Martyn are supporting us on our ride in 2018.

We are grateful for all support for our two charities, by those riding or volunteering with us on the day, or donating to either of our two charities.  We appreciate your support, and welcome all friends of Mercedes-Benz Vans, our dealer network, customers and suppliers to join our team.
