Fund for Prostate Cancer UK

Dear Colleagues, Partners, and Friends, We are excited to announce a special event that will take place during the month of November: a Charity Cycle Ride from Schiedel Chimney Systems Ltd in Washington, UK, to Schiedel GmbH in Munich, Germany. This event is not only a testament to our commitment to health and wellness but also a deeply personal journey for our team. This year, my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer, a disease that affects 1 in 8 men in their lifetime. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, with over 52,000 new cases diagnosed each year in the UK alone. While it can often be treated successfully if caught early, prostate cancer can have significant impacts on a person's life, including physical discomfort, emotional distress, and challenges to daily living. In honor of my father and the many men who battle this disease every day, we will be cycling over 1,000 kilometers from our Washington office to our Munich headquarters. This journey symbolizes the strength, resilience, and hope that cancer patients and their families must summon daily. Our goal is to raise funds and awareness for Prostate Cancer UK, a charity that provides essential support and resources for those affected by the disease and funds vital research to improve diagnosis, treatment, and care. We invite you to join us in this cause, whether by participating in the ride, cheering us on, or donating to Prostate Cancer UK. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against prostate cancer.
