Boss makes ‘ultimate sacrifice’ at charity cycle challenge
The boss of Sky Recruitment Solutions has completed a gruelling cycle challenge in the name of prostate cancer support.
David Torrington, managing director of Sky, recently completed the 255-mile charity cycle ride in aid of Prostate Cancer UK.
He agreed to join the three-day Founders Cycle event after being approached by fellow Marketing Derby bondholder Dean Jackson, of premium sport apparel and wetsuit brand HUUB.
The challenge, which smashed its £10,000 target, involved visiting the grounds of all 12 founding members of the Football League.
A die-hard Nottingham Forest fan, David made what he described as “the ultimate sacrifice” as he had to don a specially designed shirt based on Derby County’s 1984 centenary kit.
The charity event, organised by Derby County, culminated in a fanfare arrival at the Rams’ Pride Park Stadium.
David joked: “For me, it was the ultimate sacrifice! But the emotional pain I endured was nothing close to the mental and physical suffering that thousands of men with prostate cancer have to endure – so it was definitely a price worth paying.”
