How we choose to give back to society, by doing our bit!
We like to take inspiration as it comes and we both turn to a variety of people from all walks of life for vision and motivation from their personal and professional lives.
Always up for participating in sporting events from 10km running race to Ironman triathlons, we're always keen to promote one of our preferred charities at any opportunity and have raised over £10,000 in the past 4 years.
In June 2011, Ollie will take his fellow riders and his crew to California where they will being the Race Across America.
The RAAM Roses will attempt a WORLD RECORD by winning their mixed 4-person category and reaching the coast of Maryland in just under 6 days and 12 hours. The team are supporting two fantastic charities, The Joe Glover Foundation and Ideas Tap.
To get to know the team, learn more about this enormous challenge and pledge your support, please be sure to visit the website.
