BOND IT SHOWS SUPPORT FOR TRAGIC CAUSE
Sealants, adhesives, and waterproofing products manufacturer, Bond It, has lent its support to a mammoth charity bike ride raising funds for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance service.
The Elland-based business recently sponsored a group of fundraisers who rode from nearby Thurstonland in West Yorkshire to Scarborough, North Yorkshire, and back, covering some 200 miles.
The ride was organised in memory of Martin Hanks, a 34-year-old tree surgeon from Thurstonland, who was tragically killed in an accident at work in April 2015.
Its purpose was to raise money, both for a trust fund for Martin’s two young children, aged four and one, and for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance Service who attended the scene of Martin’s accident within minutes.
David Moore, Managing Director at Bond It, said: “Bond It’s decision to support the charity bike ride is indicative of our belief in being a socially responsible business.
“Martin’s vocation as a tree surgeon reflects the wider trade nature of our core customer base whilst the importance of the role played by air ambulances is unquestionable. It is a service which any of us could need at any, unexpected point in our lives.”
The event, dubbed the Coast to Roast, ended with a traditional Yorkshire roast
at the finishing point of the Rose and Crown pub in Thurstonland to celebrate their achievement and Martin’s life.
Scarborough was chosen as the ride’s halfway point as the resort was a favourite holiday destination for Martin and his family.
The group of 35 people successfully raised almost £20,000. Bond It was one of a number of local businesses to make donations.
John Davies-Riand, a close friend of Martin and one of the organisers of the ride, added: “Martin was tragically taken from his family and friends far too early doing a job he loved.
“On behalf of everyone involved, we’d like to thank Bond It for its generous support.”
