Two members of staff from Kent Hospitality are cycling 300 miles from Manchester to Exeter in conjunction with TUCO (The University Caterers Organisation) to raise money for charity.

From 22 to 25 July, Adam Hames (Keynes Food and Beverage Manager) and Chris Terry (Darwin Food and Beverage Manager) will cycle 75 miles a day to reach the annual TUCO Conference which is being held in Exeter this year.

Chris said: ‘We’re really excited to be doing this for great charities that mean a lot to us individually, our families and so many others. Neither of us has ever done anything like this before, we’re not professional cyclists by any means and this will push us to our physical limits. It will be worthwhile though and we’re looking forward to arriving at the 2016 TUCO Conference!’

Adam and Chris are raising money for Leukaemia Cancer Society and Pilgrim’s Hospice respectively. University staff can support them by donating via their Just Giving webpages.
