GMF100 Cycling Challenge Raises £55,000 - Event To Become Annual

GM Fundraising has announced the GMF100 Cycling Challenge total.

Industry charity, GM Fundraising, has just announced that its GMF100 Cycling Challenge has raised £55,000. The funds will go to Hope House Children’s Hospices.

Hope House provides palliative care for children with life-limiting conditions and support for their families, both on site and in their homes.

 

 “Finally, we managed to get an event over the line after a torturous 18 months of pandemic-ridden efforts. We wanted to help Hope House rebuild financially and the GMF100 Cycling Challenge was created to show our continued commitment.”

Founder, GM Fundraising

 

Thank you

"A huge thank you to everyone involved in making the GMF100 Cycling Challenge happen," adds Morton. "To the riders, the supporters and to everyone who sponsored them. We are delighted to have raised this significant amount.”

The GMF100 Cycling Challenge saw over 90 riders cycle 100 miles on Sunday 8 August from their window factory or premises. Morton continues: “What an event! Despite heavy rain in some parts of the country and a strong headwind, all the riders completed the challenge safely. Thank you to each and every one of them.

“Special thanks must go to Epwin Window Systems which sponsored the event."

Clare O’Hara, MD of Epwin Window Systems, says: “We were delighted to support the GMF100 Cycling Challenge and even more pleased to see what a success it was in raising some much-needed funds for Hope House.”

The mission of Hope House Children’s Hospices is to ensure that no one should face the death of a child alone. It costs £6.5 million every year to run its services and 86% of this is spent on care. Over 95% of Hope House’s annual costs are met through charitable donations and GM Fundraising is its largest single donor. Since it was established in 1995, GM Fundraising has raised over £2 million for Hope House Children’s Hospices.

The GMF100 Charity Cycle Challenge has received such positive feedback from all the participants that GM Fundraising has announced this will become an annual event.”
