Murray gets in gear for charity challenge

Scott Dawson’s managing director Murray has completed a gruelling charity cycling challenge to raise money for North West Blood Bikes.

Murray joined nine friends and fellow cycling enthusiasts to pedal their way from Liverpool to Leeds along the canal on a sunny Saturday and Sunday.

The team included Paul Dwyer along with his son Danny Dwyer, Allan Nutter, Nick Garratt, Alex Roberts, Stephen Greenhalgh and John Slater, while Sean Keenan and Sean Dwyer ran the support vehicle.

North West Blood Bikes (Lancs and Lakes) provides a vital out-of-hours services to the NHS delivering life-saving medical supplies to hospitals in the area. Their volunteers travel by motorcycle to transport blood, samples, donor breast milk for premature babies, doctors’ notes and urgently required theatre equipment between hospitals.

They run this service during the night, at weekends and Bank Holidays and it’s funded through donations so hospital funding can be concentrated on patient care.

Murray and the team have managed to raise £1585 for the charity so far, as well as £717 for Prostate Cancer UK.

There’s still time to sponsor the team – visit their fundraising page here:
