Ride for Ruth cycling challenge for RSF

Hamlins Managing Partner, Matthew Pryke, participated in Ride for Ruth on Saturday 4 July, the inaugural cycling challenge for the Ruth Strauss Foundation, our corporate charity partner.

Matthew was part of a team of 20 cyclists who tackled a 127km route from the Kia Oval in London to Arundel Castle Cricket Ground in West Sussex.

The 127km route represented the 127 children who face the heart-breaking reality of losing a parent event single day and the distance covered on the 4 July was a tribute to those families.

This event saw Matthew reunite with his Cycle the Summits co-challengers, who in June 2021, set out to be the first team to scale the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales, cycling between and summiting the three peaks while on Brompton folding bikes.

RSF's mission is to provide specialist, accessible and tailored support for families where a parent has incurable cancer. The Foundation has merged with Maggie's to expand support for families impacted by cancer. Funds raised through Ride for Ruth will support RSF’s life-changing programmes.

The Ride for Ruth challenge fundraised a collective total of over £22,000 to support the Foundation’s vital work. You can still support Matthew's fundraising efforts here.
