On your bike for charity
Motorpoint Castleford’s Michael Sutton is embarking on a Tour De Motorpoint this month to raise funds for The Prince of Wales Hospice.
The 29-year-old, who has worked in West Yorkshire as a vehicle detailer and yard technical trainer for the since it opened in April 2016, has decided to get on his spin bike at his local gym, xcercise4less, to raise £1,000 for the popular charity.
Michael is aiming to ride 14 miles a day in order to travel the 425 miles between the company’s branches in the North of England and Scotland – Birtley, Burnley, Castleford, Glasgow, Sheffield and Widnes.
Motorpoint, which has a branch in Castleford, is a long-standing supporter of The Prince of Wales Hospice. Based in Pontefract, the hospice has provided palliative care and support to thousands of patients with life-limiting illnesses since 1989.
Sutton said: “I’m a proud supporter of the Hospice, and the great work they do in our local community, and 14 miles a day, either before or after work, on my spin bike is nothing if the money raised can help make a difference to people dealing with life limiting or life threatening conditions in the Five Towns area of West Yorkshire.”
