During September 2008 the Shoe repair industry got on its bikes & cycled for recycling by riding Felicity Kendall & Mark Cavendish's shoes from Aberdeen to Portsmouth in a round Britain challenge & raised our targeted £20,000 for Children in Need during national shoe repair week.from Friday 5th September to Tuesdays 9th September 2008. 3 times gold medalist at Beijing
Chris Hoy, Said:
“The efforts Cutting Edge are going to in aid of Children in Need are amazing. I dedicate a lot of time to cycling and it has long been my life, but the people taking part in this event are the opposite. The majority have never cycled a long distance before now so this will be a great achievement for all involved. I love to hear when more people are taking up cycling and send everyone involved in the cycle challenge my support, I hope it’s a great success.” |
 Felicity's (click here to find out more about Felicity Kendall CBE)
and Mark Cavendish's (click here to find out more about Mark Cavendish) shoes made the distance! The route was sectioned into 20 mile stages & to maximise the sponsorship & publicity potential the cyclists or teams of cyclists completed each stage to relay the shoes to the finish line.
