Seven Day Epic is the creation of James Bonham, a Norfolk lad who has decided to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. James’ dad, John, was looked after by Macmillan during his illness when James, who now lives in Surrey, couldn’t be there. James said “their help, guidance and support was absolutely fantastic, no task was too big or too small whilst maintaining an exceptional level of professionalism throughout a very difficult time”.
James decided he wanted to do something for Macmaillan as a symbol of his gratitude and so he has assembled a great team of friends who are willing to take their bodies to the limit next May, 2014, and cycle 1,400km over 7 days, from Barcelona to Box Hill.
James’ target is to raise £30,000 and has already raised over £5,000.
Leah Phung, Marketing and PR Executive said “We are proud to support James with this fantastic cause. Chris Beck is a member of James’ cycling team and is also the husband of Chantal Beck, in the Leathes Prior Insolvency Team, so we are very well aware of the training and dedication this needs. We wish James and his team every success and will support them all the way to the finish and hope they achieve their target of raising £30,000.”
