RCC&W staff take on 75 mile cycle challenge in aid of charity
A team of staff from Raeburn Christie Clark & Wallace (RCC&W) embarked on a demanding 75 mile cycle around their branch network in Aberdeenshire over the weekend to raise funds for the firm’s chosen charity, Friends of Roxburghe House, a purpose built specialist palliative care unit in Aberdeen.
Starting on Saturday at the firm’s main office in Albyn Place, Aberdeen, the cyclists travelled first to Stonehaven and then up to Banchory across the Slug Road. On Sunday the team began in Banchory and cycled to Inverurie and then on to the final Branch in Ellon, clocking up approximately 75 miles over the two days in challenging, hot conditions.
Partner Callum McDonald, who organised the event, said: “This year we were looking for new ideas and activities to raise money for our charity. As we have a strong Branch network around the North-East of Scotland, and a number of enthusiastic cyclists, this seemed like the ideal challenge to set ourselves – and a nice opportunity to bring staff from different offices together.”
The team consisted of nine cyclists, both novice and experienced, plus a dozen support staff who were there to welcome those taking part to each of the Branches, provide much needed sustenance and to offer any back-up required en route.
