There’s nothing better than getting on your bike after a challenging week – finding a BIG hill to tackle – and savouring some stunning scenery and some well deserved nosh afterwards.  

I recently completed a 150 mile quest across the North Yorkshire Dales with fellow Vistage members and our team captain Richard Bosworth. I split the money raised between a cure for Polio and HenshawsYorkshire which provides a range of educational, residential, day-care and community services for blind and visually-impaired people of all ages.

Outside of this specific event, at Quest we have a strong CSR ethos and commitment to ‘putting something back’. Since 2002 we’ve donated hundreds of days of PR expertise and time to regional and national organisations including Henshaws Yorkshire, Candlelighters, and the groundbreaking WalkTalk project spearheaded by 7/7 survivor Gill Hicks. It’s been fantastic seeing how much our team enjoy taking part in projects which include making a video for The Wilberforce Trust. My next challenge is to be able to run 13 miles for this year’s Great North Run.

Now back to the bike ride. Here is a snapshot of our adventure – all donations gratefully received on http://www.charitygiving.co.uk/sharoncaincycle.
