Charity ride provides boost to many
MARKETING Stockport has held a charity bike ride.
The first beneficiary from the efforts of Stockport-businessman, Adrian Stores and son, Kaya, a pupil of Cheadle Hulme High School were the Stockport NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Fund (Critical Care Unit and the Tree House Paediatric Unit.
Volleyball England was another beneficiary.
A spokesman said: “Volleyball clubs thoughout the country have naturally ceased all activities, and we have witnessed the socialexclusion and damage to health and welfare, when for some volleyball is their escape and only social interaction in daily lives and routines.
“The landscape has suggested that some clubs may never return from this challenge, as it was both unexpected and unprecedented for any organisation.
“Finally, continuing the theme of keeping it local, we have selected our very own, not for profit enterprise, Stockport Volleyball Club, started by Adrian and Kaya in 2015, as a recipient of an equal share of any funds.
“It is one of the fastest growing clubs in the Country, uses four venues throughout the Borough, bringing exercise and recreation to children and adults of all ability, people of varying genders, ages and ethic origin - a phenomenal ‘vehicle’ for bringing joy and structure in lives in Stockport and Manchester.”
The monies raised were through Adrian and Kaya embarking on an estimated forty mile commitment.
The spokesman added: “The route was topical and embraced a start at Cheadle Hulme School where our National Volleyball League (NVL) Men and Women train.
“From their we travel to The Seashell Trust. The locality where Stockport Volleyball all started in 2015, and still home to our community adults and juniors.
“A bit of a trek follows to Edgeley Park a logical stop given its pivotal position as the main sporting venue in the borough.
“The challenge reaches its peak, at least in height, with an ascent up to 475 feet to Life Leisure’s Brinnington Park Leisure Comples, where our NVL and Local League Teams compete. Life Leisure was generous sponsor to the cycle ride.”
Then on the homewardstraight via the ‘real heroes,’ Stepping Hill Hospital, before completing the circuit where we started. »»Donate via: http:// www.crowdscrum.co. uk/projects/my-coronacycle/
