CEMEX’s Mountainous Summer Of Cycling

An intrepid team of cyclists from CEMEX UK are setting off on a number of epic cycling challenges between May and July this year to raise money for the Stroke Association.   

To sponsor the team go to their JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/cemex-p2b2020

Every five minutes stroke destroys lives and the Stroke Association helps to rebuild them. When stroke strikes part of the brain shuts down. Life changes instantly and recovery is tough! No doubt you may already know someone who has been affected by stroke.

In 2019 one of our UK colleagues suffered a severe stroke and is still in the long process of recovery with the support of the Stroke Association. So, Team CEMEX undertook its inaugural fundraising cycle ride from London to Paris.

Part I – Over the weekend of 9th and 10th May they will undertake the London Revolution. An incredible 155 mile, 360 loop around London landmarks combined with countryside riding around the South-East of England.

Part II – On Sunday 21st June 2020 the whole of the CEMEX Cycling Team, together with some family and friends (17 cyclists), will take part in the 100 mile Birmingham Velo.

Part III – They are planning from 3rd July 2020 for nine willing (or just mad) riders from the CEMEX Cycling Team have to attempt the huge challenge of cycling approximately 350 miles from the CEMEX Head Office in Paris to the CEMEX Research facility in Switzerland in just four days, however, there are some big hills/mountains some might say, in between so it really is un-chartered territory for the team.

All events will be in aid of the Stroke Association and we are looking for your donations to help raise as much money as possible to enable The Stroke Association to continue its amazing work.
