Pontefract based Nissan dealer, Harratts Nissan, is sponsoring a charity bike ride in aid of the Prince of Wales Hospice and have pledged to donate £100 to the hospice for every new car purchased at the dealership in the lead up to the event.
The fund-raising bike ride, which takes place on May 14th sees hundreds of riders take part every year, covering 30 to 100-mile routes depending on what they can cope with.
Over the course of its 23-year history, the event has raised almost £300,000 for the hospice, which provides care to people from Normanton, Pontefract, Featherstone, Knottingley and Castleford.
As well as helping to make the event possible, Harratts will be providing a Nissan Navara as the “lead car” — riding ahead of the cyclists to guide out the route and display a timing clock.
Talking about their involvement, Shaun Harratt, Managing Director, said, “The team throughout all our Harratts dealerships are very excited about the Cyclothon sponsorship with a few of them already in training to take part. We are delighted to become an official partner of the hospice and are looking forward to raising additional money over the coming months as well.”
The event starts at 9am on May 14th, starting at Pontefract Park. Entry is £20 and you can sign up at the reception of the Prince of Wales Hospice, on Halfpenny Lane, Pontefract, or online at www.pwh.org.uk/events/cyclothon
