A team of seven colleagues from James Wellbeloved got on their bikes to complete the London-Brighton Bike Ride and raise £2,500 for Dogs for the Disabled in the process...

A total of 54 miles was the furthest most of the team had ever cycled, but as marketing executive Caroline Gray said: “It was for a great cause, and we all rose to the challenge – even if our legs were a little bit sore for the next day or so.”

Dogs for the Disabled is a life-transforming charity, creating exceptional partnerships between people living with disability and specially trained assistance dogs. 

These dogs provide practical assistance and real freedom and independence for children and adults with a wide range of physical disabilities and children with autism. More information about their inspiring work can be found at www.dogsforthedisabled.org

Last year James Wellbeloved staff raised a total of £6,500 for Dogs for the Disabled.

Marketing manager Anne-Laure Jaouën added: “We are so proud of all of the team who took part, and the fund-raising for Dogs for The Disabled continues. If any of our pet trade colleagues would like to donate, they can visit the just giving page at www.justgiving.com/jwbbigcycle.”
