On Wednesday 19 June, more than 100 team members from across Boots will be taking part in challenge 175 – an endurance fundraiser to commemorate Boots 175th anniversary and raise vital funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Team members will be taking on one of the following: 175km cycle ride, 17.5 mile run (individually or as part of a relay), 1.75km or 175m open water swim.

My contribution is the 175km bike ride from D90 to Buxton (Store #1) and back to D90 (not sure what I was thinking).

I am doing this to support a great charity and in memory of Christine Hulland, caring Mother to my wife, fantastic Granny to my kids and loving wife of Graham, who we lost to cancer this year in March despite her epic battle.

We all know your donations will help fund Macmillan’s direct services, to enable them to support more people affected by cancer, right from the moment they are diagnosed, through treatment and beyond.

Thank you so much for your invaluable support, you are helping to change lives!

All messages of luck and any donations appreciated (and will be being matched by Boots to £500 so please help them, help us, help people!)

Thank you

Kyle
