Pedalling toParisto raise funds for charity

Doncaster-based firm iHus is taking part in Pedal to Paris 2022 to raise funds for the Royal British Legion.

iHus, the UK’s leading granny annexe builder, is showing its commitment to the charity and armed forces .

The colleagues, together with hundreds of other competitive and recreational riders, will be cycling through England and into the stunning countryside of rural France before reaching Paris

– a gruelling marathon of 460 kilometres.

Trevor Smeaton, Maria Smeaton, Chris Walker, Steve Batty and Tom Gregory will be setting off from the heart of London on Thursday

September 1.

They are hoping to complete the intense route over the following four days while raising funds for the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal.

iHus chief executive officer Trevor Smeaton said: “Pedal to Paris is more than just a cycle

– it’s a truly inspirational experience for myself and the team.

“This ride will be a real challenge for us but we are committed to achieving our goal while raising funds for this fantastic charity.”

He added: “A huge thank you to all those who have already donated.”

The team have set themselves a goal to raise a minimum of £1,500 each in sponsorship money.
