The annual Plessey Semiconductors charity ride
The funds raised will help to provide support and information to men and their families, fund research into the causes and treatments of the disease, and campaign to give men’s health the prominence it needs to influence others.
Mark Bishop, Director of Fundraising at Prostate Cancer UK, said, “By raising funds, Plessey is joining Men United and helping more men survive prostate cancer and enjoy a better quality of life. We thank all involved and wish them every success with their challenge.”
The 105 mile ride will be based on the 2014 stage five of Tour of Britain where the cyclists will follow a modified version of the route with scheduled stops along the way.
The team will start and complete nearby the Plessey facilities in Plymouth on the edge of Dartmoor National Park in South Devon, and stop for breaks and refreshments along the route in Okehampton, Exeter, Bovey Tracy and Widecombe-in-the-Moor.
The cycling specialists Evans Cycles will be providing a service station to perform safety checks for all the company employees and corporate clients participating in the event.
