Huddersfield Town’s Club Ambassador Andy Booth commented:
“I have been absolutely delighted to see so many of this year’s cyclists holding fundraising events to raise money for the ride.
“We’ve seen a lot of money raised so far, which will have a huge impact on the charities that P4P10 with Made By Cooper is benefitting. Well done to all the cyclists who have arranged or taken part in them.
“If you’re a Town fan and would like to support the riders, then please go along to one of the fundraising events and help them raise some more money!”
The money raised from Pedal for Pounds 10 with Made By Cooper: The Chairman’s Choice will go half to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and half to the Town Foundation.
The Foundation will split their half in three ways; one third to Kirkwood Hospice, one third to Ruddi’s Retreat and they will use the remaining third for their own Breakfast Clubs.
This year is the 10th anniversary of the event and will be a European adventure around Belgium and the Netherlands between Monday 29 April and Friday 3 May 2019.
