CEDIA Announces Charity Cycle
Ride To Remember Colleagues
CEDIA’s charity
cycle ride is on
September 16
CEDIA is planning to host a charity cycle ride on Saturday, September
16, to commemorate five colleagues who the industry lost over the
last two years.
Matt Nimmons, CEDIA’s managing director, said that Suzanne
Collin, Carmen Greenway, Bob Hobson, Alan Roser and Peter Lawn
are sorely missed by many within the industry and this event is the
opportunity to remember these dear friends and raise money for
Macmillan Cancer Support in their memory.
Matt said: “We work in a very close industry, where colleagues become
friends, so we we were all extremely saddened by the loss of Suzanne,
Carmen, Bob, Alan and Peter. We wanted to find a way to remember our
friends and knowing that there are many keen cyclists in our industry,
we thought a cycling sportive would be a nice way of doing so.”
The charity event will take place around Grafham Water Park in
Huntingdon. There will be two separate routes, a 50-mile cycle sportive
style event for the more seasoned cyclists and a nine-mile fun ride
around the reservoir for anyone who wishes to come and join the fun.
CEDIA is designing a commemorative cycling shirt for the
event. The association is offering companies within the industry the
opportunity to sponsor these shirts.
Money will be raised via tickets for the event. Those who wish to
take part in the 50-mile ride will be charged £50, which will include
the commemorative jersey, while the fun riders will pay a £5 fee and
£25 for the cycling shirt.
For those who would like to get involved with the charity, but
are unable to attend the event, CEDIA has set up a JustGiving page
(www.justgiving.com/fundraising/cedia-emea) where money can be
donated to Macmillan Cancer Support.
