Alan Young, regional sales director at Russell Roof Tiles has raised over £2,000 by completing the Etape Caledonia cycling challenge.
Alan cycled 85 miles around the hills of Pitlochry, for Beatson Cancer Charity, a small cancer charity based in Glasgow that supports families and patients.
Speaking about his achievement, Alan said: “Whilst it was extremely hard going at times, what has made the challenge even more rewarding has been the generosity which so many people have shown me and more importantly, the Beatson Cancer Charity, whom I was raising money for.
“I’m ecstatic at the amount that has been raised as initially, I had a target of collecting £250. To have completely exceeded that total is incredible. Thank you to everyone who has donated from friends, customers and suppliers, to the whole of the Russell Roof Tiles team. I’ve been blown away by the support.”
Andrew Hayward, managing director of Russell Roof Tiles, added: “Supporting our community and our staff is at the heart of Russell Roof Tiles’ ethos, and we encourage our team to get involved with fundraising initiatives and local projects. We’re delighted to be able to help Alan with this challenge and congratulate him on his amazing achievement.”
Since 2016, Russell Roof Tiles has donated over £110,000 to various causes.
