Bizspace building surveyor raises a 'wheelie' big sum for charity

By Bizspace

18 Jun 2014

The national building surveyor for flexible business space provider, Bizspace, has completed a ride of a lifetime to raise more than £1,200 for charity.

Andrew, 46, who has worked at Bizspace for six years, enjoys cycling as a pastime and began more intensive training, combined with a strict nutrition regime, earlier this year to prepare for the Mitie London Revolution event, which would be the longest route he had tackled.

“I had never done two days of extended riding back-to-back so it was an unknown, and I was concerned about running out of energy. It has happened before where I’ve just hit a wall and it’s an awful feeling, but luckily I was fine once I got back in the saddle on the second day,” Andrew said.

The London Revolution is a 190-mile route around the capital, which takes in the iconic climb up Box Hill, made famous at the 2012 Olympics, as well as a home run through the city itself and over the impressive spectacle of Tower Bridge.

Andrew chose to raise money for Parkinson’s as his father suffers from the condition. The married dad-of-two smashed his initial target of £750 and has so far reached £1,200.
