This month saw Soundcraft’s CEO Kevin Smith ride out among 136 intrepid O2e cyclists on a phenomenal 36,000-mile challenge – raising an astounding amount for children with disabilities and terminal illness.
Averaging well above 100 miles each day, the riders embarked on a route from Dunkirk to Amsterdam, via Bruges and Rotterdam, testing their mettle against torrential rain with 40mph head winds to successfully complete this challenge.
As Soundcraft’s long-term nominated charity, O2e Ordinary to Extraordinary is focussed on providing essential financial support for UK charities that are totally committed to improving the lives of children with life-threatening illness.
“We are proud to be part of the O2e family,” said Kevin Smith. “The charity is founded on pure generosity of spirit and the ability to challenge comfort zones that ultimately raise funds to benefit children in need. I have enormous respect for my fellow cyclists and the superb support crew on this event, who dealt with mechanical failures, injuries, exhaustion, sustenance and safety. The amazing O2e team powered through, achieving personal triumphs and raising record amounts.”
O2e is a 100% non-profit organisation, each rider was self-funded and every pound is precious to the fantastic charities being funded by O2e this year.
The incredible sum raised so far is in excess of £103K – it would be wonderful to keep it going!
