Kendleshire Cyclists Smash 100-Mile Ride for The Brightwell

On 3 September, a determined group of cyclists from The Kendleshire Golf Club traded in their golf clubs for bicycles and took on a remarkable 100-mile challenge - all in support of The Brightwell, your local charity dedicated to helping people living with neurological conditions.

The team set off on their ambitious journey from Kendleshire and powered their way to the scenic finish line at Machynys Golf and Monk Island Resort in Llanelli. Along the way, they endured just one crash and two punctures - a small price to pay for such an incredible feat.

This impressive effort is part of a broader fundraising campaign led by The Kendleshire Men’s Captain, Martyn Olds, who has chosen The Brightwell as one of the club’s Charities of the Year. The 100-mile ride stands as one of the biggest fundraising activities so far - and it’s already made a huge impact.By the end of their journey, the team had raised an incredible £6,728 for The Brightwell.

“We’d like to say the biggest thank you to Martyn and the team at The Kendleshire Golf Club for their determination, passion, and dedicated support,” said Doro Pasantes, CEO of The Brightwell. “Funds like this make a real difference to the lives of the people we support every single day.”

The Brightwell, based in Bradley Stoke, provides vital therapies and support for people living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and other neurological conditions. Fundraising efforts like this one are key to helping the centre continue its invaluable work.
