ADRIAN LEWIS TAKES ON THE
GM FUNDRAISING CHALLENGE
» » WHEN A SPACE BECAME AVAILABLE
on the upcoming ‘From Russia With Hope’
cycling challenge, taking place in June
this year, GM Fundraising turned to the
fenestration media for help in recruiting
someone to take up the challenge. As a result,
Adrian Lewis, Owner & Managing Director
of Frames Conservatories Direct in Bury St
Edmunds has stepped forward to take up the
challenge.
Adrian comments on his decision to
take up the challenge: “‘Giving something
back’ is very important to me. None of us
knows what the future holds and when we
might be impacted by the type of support
charities like Hope House Children’s
Hospices provide. This will be the third
hospice I have raised funds for and being
able to have a positive impact on the quality
of the lives of children and their families
who spend time there is something very
special. Experience tells me that completing
these long-distance cycle rides is all about
team work as you build relationships, share
struggles and support each other through
every mile.”
