260 miles in 26 days for Purple Day.

Company Director, Melanie Squires, is taking part in a cycling challenge to raise money for 'Purple Day ', which raises awareness of, and funds for, young epilepsy. This is a cause close to the hearts of Ryan and Melanie Squires, as their two youngest children, Floss and Eddie, are both affected by epilepsy.

The challenge is normally to walk, jog, or run 26 miles in 26 days, but as Mel is a keen cyclist she decided to do the challenge on a bike. However, she felt 26 miles in 26 days on a bike wouldn't be much of a challenge, so she raised the miles to 260!

We wish her well in this very worthy endeavour, and would be incredibly grateful for any donations received. To make a donation, follow the link below:-

A great result for Simon and co., and one we're so happy to have helped with. Macmillan Cancer Support do such amazing work, and every penny raised is so vital.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who’s donated so far but especially Walter H Squires & Son who takes Simon Tyldesley-Holley over the £500 mark for such a great cause 👌👏👏👏👏
