A cycling team from BSS Industrial has completed a 215-mile round trip from Paris to Brussels in just 60 hours.
Four members of the BSS Industrial senior management team and two other volunteers took part in the challenge, which started on 1 September, in aid of The Rainbow Trust which supports children with life threatening or terminal illnesses.
The team kept their spirits up and completed the mammoth journey with £8,500 raised to date.
Frank Elkins, managing director of BSS Industrial and part of the fundraising team, said: 'Three out of the six of us were suffering from some sort of injury which just added to the difficulty of this already monumental challenge. In the end it was team spirit and the determination to raise money for The Rainbow Trust which got us through. This is a huge achievement, thank you to everyone that has donated so far.'
The company has raised more than £240,000 for The Rainbow Trust through various activities since beginning its support in 2007. This year's total raised has already beaten last year's charity event, when a team from BSS Industrial travelled through five countries in 60 hours to raise £8,000 for The Rainbow Trust.
