Jon and Brayton get the hump for the British Heart Foundation

It must have been thirsty work for Kindred’s Jon Sykes and Brayton Gillette, who cycled a staggering 54 miles from Clapham Common, London to Brighton’s seafront wearing a camel suit to raise funds for the British Heart Foundation.

The bike ride is one of the BHF’s biggest fundraising events on its Calendar every year and generates much needed sponsor money from friends, colleagues and companies.

Peter Hollins, Chief Executive for the British Heart Foundation (BHF) said:

“In 2009 the Ride raised an amazing £3.9 million to help fund the BHF’s life-saving work. This is thanks to the enthusiasm and commitment of people like Jon and Brayton. A big thanks must go to them for all their hard work and generous sponsors.”

Further information on how to enter the BHF London to Brighton Bike Ride this year on Sunday 20th June, can be found at bhf.org.uk/L2B
