Domino's workers raise 17,000 for Teenage Cancer Trust
Calling themselves the Pizza Peddlers, the trio completed the journey dressed in Domino's garlic and herb dip costumes, even towing a giant pot of The Big Dip the entire length of the UK.
Peter Blockley, one of the riders and senior franchise operations partner at Domino's, said: "Taking part in this challenge has been an unforgettable experience.
"The support from our colleagues, friends and the wider Domino's community has kept us going through every tough moment.
"Knowing that our efforts will make a real difference to young people with cancer is the best reward we could ask for.
"We've laughed, we've struggled, and we've seen some of the most beautiful – and brutal – parts of Britain from our saddles.
"I'm so proud of what we've achieved together."
The funds raised will help the Teenage Cancer Trust continue providing specialist nurses, youth workers, and dedicated hospital units for teenagers and young adults with cancer.
The challenge also marks 10 years of partnership between Domino's and the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Since 2015, Domino's has raised more than £8.5 million for the charity, helping to fund essential services for young cancer patients across the UK.
Sam Hughes-Smith, corporate partnership manager at Teenage Cancer Trust, said: "The money the team has raised will be truly life-changing for so many young people with cancer.
"Domino's have supported Teenage Cancer Trust for 10 years and raised an incredible £8.5 million.
"Their continued dedication and support means the world to us."

Loch Ness campers spot something mysterious in the water and it's not Nessie
The mysterious object surprised onlookers. A mysterious object has been observed on the surface of Loch Ness. While the loch is most famous for being the supposed home of the Loch Ness Monster, it was not Nessie that was spotted. But rather than glimpsing the mythical creature, the object seen in the legendary loch was a submarine launched by Domino's. The food chain has made history with the world's first-ever submarine pizza delivery. The customised sub is capable of reaching speeds of up to 45mph and leaping five metres out of the water. It surprised campers as it crashed through the loch, at first mistaken for the legendary Nessie. Powered by a 300-horsepower high-performance engine, the submarine can be seen in video footage submerging beneath the surface and leaping out of the water. According to Domino's, the trial showcases its "dedication to pushing delivery innovation and bringing fresh pizza to customers, wherever they are". Pizza Delivery Innovation Spokesperson at Domino's Izzy Gardener commented: "We're always looking for new and unexpected ways to deliver to our customers, and this summer we wanted to make a splash with another revolutionary delivery. "Loch Ness is known for its legends, so it felt like the perfect place to test the waters of a world-first submarine delivery. While we won't be training all drivers to become pilots of this unique mode of transport anytime soon, it shows our ongoing commitment to innovation and how far we'll go to deliver fast and fresh to our customers." Submarine delivery is currently being trialled on Loch Ness as part of a limited summer campaign. Domino's has previously undertaken other unique delivery methods in 2025, including robot dogs and pothole-proof bikes. More On Food Loch Ness Loch Ness monster
