This week we were proud and a little emotional to wrap up our Wellbeing Week Challenge with the handover to Sense of a cheque for £18,087, raised by Cemex colleagues, friends and family.

The closing ceremony was attended by the Wellbeing Challenge Cycling Team, members of our Cemex UK Coordination team and our main contacts at Sense. It was an emotional reunion for the cycling team and they spent some time during the session, sharing their memories of the epic five-day bike ride, their experiences and gave their thanks to the management team for allowing them to take part in the challenge.

Each team member was presented with a framed poster and a mug by Lex Russell, MD UK Materials and Andy Taylor, UK Health & Safety Director. Lex gave thanks to the cycling team for their incredible efforts and shared some details about the reason why Cemex was supporting Sense.

Caroline Buckland from Sense, who also joined the cyclists on their final day cycling to Southampton, thanked the whole Cemex team for their incredible contributions and the fantastic total raised. She shared some moving videos of how our donations will help people with complex disabilities.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part in our Wellness Week Challenge – to those of you who were using the static bikes and logging your steps throughout the week, cheering your colleagues on, doing your own activities at home and logging those, following the cycling team’s progress through our communications, everyone who donated and to the amazing cyclists and their support team – our One Cemex approach has made a real difference – well done!
