BJC consultants Peter Brownson and Chris Walker joined the CEO of Spire Healthcare, Rob Rodger and Spire Liverpool Hospital Director for Spire Summer Ride recently. The team took to two wheels again for the second annual charity cycle challenge, this year raising money for Harrison’s Fund.

Rob, along with 200 fellow Spire cyclists, pedalled over 720km – the distance between nine Spire hospitals and was joined by Fergus and Peter for the Manchester to Blackpool leg of the ride, a total of 106.4 km. This is the second year the big boss of Spire Healthcare has got on his bike for charity, having last year cycled over 620km to raise money for Walking with the Wounded and Macmillan Cancer Care.

This year Rob has chosen the organisation Harrison’s Fund. The charity is named after an eight year old boy from Surrey who was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a fatal genetic condition that affects the muscles, causing muscle weakness. The charity’s goal is to get as much money as possible into the hands of the world’s best researchers, who are working to find a cure for Duchenne.
