Jonnie Cunningham, Head of Operations at Watertight is aiming to cycle 970 miles from Land’s End to John O’Groats. The 9-day challenge (4 -12 Sept) known as The Ride Across Britain, will take Jonnie through 23 counties in England, Wales, and Scotland. Jonnie will pass through many communities that have been affected by flooding including several in the South West, Wessex, West Midlands, and Cheshire where Watertight have delivered PFR through the Environment Agency’s PFR framework.

Jonnie will raise money for two charities, Slow The Flow and The Robin Menary Foundation for Brain Tumour Research.

Based in the Calder Valley, which suffered significant flooding over Christmas 2015 with 2,781 homes and 4,416 businesses severely impacted, Slow the Flow work to educate the public about Natural Flood Management, SUDs, and other renewable methods of managing the environment and reducing the risk of flooding. www.slowtheflow.net 

Jonnie has also chosen to support The Robin Menary Foundation for Brain Tumour Research. www.robinmenaryfoundation.com  Robin was a brother-in-law of a Watertight colleague and monies raised will contribute to the target of £100k raised by 2021, the tenth anniversary of his death.
