TRADA Business Solutions team member Mark Silverman is to take part in the Norwood international charity bike ride for the seventh year and hopes to exceed the £5,000 he raised last year.
Mr Silverman said this year’s event, which takes place in Brazil from September 17-26, is billed as the toughest yet. The 250-mile challenge will start in Ouro Preto in the Sierra do Espinhaco mountains and finish five days later in Rio de Janerio.
Norwood supports children, families and adults coping with learning disabilities and many forms of social disadvantage and residents from the Norwood village ride complete the ride on tandem bikes.
