Domino's workers raise 17,000 for Teenage Cancer Trust
Three Domino's employees, including Josh Wilson from Llanharan, cycled nearly 1,000 miles from John O'Groats to Land's End in just eight days, climbing 46,000 feet along the way, to raise more than £17,000 for the 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."
