Straumann riders put themselves to the test for Dentaid

  Posted by: Dental Design      19th May 2022

The Straumann Charity Bike Ride 2022 will take participants approximately 500 miles in 5 days from Bilbao to Sitges in Spain, raising money for Dentaid. Adrian Beech has participated in 3 of the 4 previous events and shares why he’s back again:

“The first event (Basel to Crawley) was a real eye-opener – I enjoyed it so much I took part in the two subsequent events. Each one is a masterstroke in organisation, teamwork and mutual support. The rides are the most intense things I’ve ever participated in – but the friendships made on the road genuinely last a lifetime.

“All the while I can still ride a bike, I’m never going to pass up opportunities like these!

For this year, I’m most looking forward to riding with old friends, seeing new sights and being completely immersed in the event.”

This Straumann Charity Bike Ride is raising essential funds for Dentaid, hoping to purchase a new mobile dental unit to better support to vulnerable communities around the UK. Adrian adds:

“Dentists spend their lives focused on an important part of the body. Dental diseases, especially cancers, can be terribly debilitating. Patients suffer loss of self-confidence, malnutrition and embarrassment, not to mention their pain and suffering. Anything that helps to support these people has to be a good thing!”

Any support is warmly welcomed at Dentists in Lycra 2022 fundraising for Dentaid Ltd on JustGiving.
