Hemel Hempstead HGV drivers raise thousands for The Hospice of St Francis

A group of HGV drivers from Hemel Hempstead have raised over £2,000 for the Hospice of St Francis in memory of their friend.

The Gist drivers cycled from London to Brighton on Saturday, September 5, to raise money for the hospice, which was a charity that was very dear to their friend Mark, who passed away earlier this year.

Jason Horwood, Kevin Gookey, Carl McCabe, Richard Reilly, - who all work for Gist in Hemel Hempstead - cycled 75 miles to raise money for the hospice.

Richard said: "London to Brighton 75 mile Off Road Bike Ride completed in memory of our colleague Mark Gatty.

"Cake Ride For Mark will raise over £2400 when all sponsorship and donations are collected.

"Well done Jason Horwood, Kevin Gookey, Carl McCabe and Cezary Kowalski for all their hard work.

"We would also like to thank our general manager at Gist, Graeme Jolly, for providing transport."
