Quantum convoy covers 1,000 miles for cancer
Pharmaceutical specials manufacturer raises £5,000 for charity
The team signed up for the challenge after their colleague Tony Gallagher died of cancer in 2008.
Gallagher’s son, Scott, led the cycle convoy, which rode off from Land’s End in Cornwall and cycled up to 90 miles a day to cross the finishing line at John O’Groats in Caithness, Scotland a fortnight later.
‘It was a testing couple of weeks,’ said Quantum Pharmaceutical’s managing director Andy Scaife.
‘We remember Tony so fondly, and cycling a thousand miles will be nothing compared with the challenge he faced in fighting cancer. We just hope the money we raise will help other cancer sufferers as they battle with the disease.’
Quantum Pharmaceutical, based in Burnopfield, Co Durham, UK, is a pharmaceutical specials manufacturer licensed by the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to supply pharmacies, chemists, dispensing doctors and hospitals with bespoke medicines.
