BOSSES at a Redditch firm are taking on a huge 180-mile bike ride next month to raise funds for children’s charity Molly Olly’s.

Oakland International co-founder and group CEO Dean Attwell and his sons Luke and Samuel, nephew Dale Attwell of Attwell Farm Park, and Oakland International chief operating officer Lee Whiting will be taking on a three-day bike ride from Exeter to Shrewley from July 7 to July 9.

Chris Shuker from Central IT Systems and his brother Pat are also providing cycle training session support.

Molly Ollys ambassador Samuel Attwell said: “Last year we did the York to Warwick ride for Molly Ollys and enjoyed it so much that some of us have decided to do it all over again, but this time from Exeter to Warwick, and we’re aiming to hit our £2,000 target before we leave on July 7.

“Molly Olly’s is a very deserving charity, and we really mean it when we say it’s like no other.”

Molly Ollys supports children with life-threatening illnesses and their families helping with their emotional wellbeing.

The charity fulfils wishes by providing gifts to individual children, donating their therapeutic toy ‘Olly the Brave’ and his story books as well as donating and supporting bespoke projects.
