Members of the Simpsons Malt and McCreath Simpson & Prentice (MSP) team get ready to take on the gruelling RideLondon challenge on 4th August in memory of friend and colleague, Peter Simpson.
Taking on the mammoth 100-mile closed-road cycle circuit in London, which will finish at Buckingham Palace, the 5 strong team will be raising money for the charity Pancreatic Cancer UK.
As Peter was a keen cyclist himself, the team felt that this was a fitting challenge and the perfect tribute to him as well as a way of raising some vital cash that will fund world-leading research into pancreatic cancer prevention.
