DTM Legal join property leaders on endurance ride

Law firm DTM Legal has joined property leaders from across the UK for part of the Duchenne Dash MAX, an endurance charity bike ride from John O’Groats to Paris.

Partner at DTM Legal, Kate Roberts and Associate, Victoria Evans, joined key property leaders, Alasdair Robertson, founding director of TownCentreParking and Andy Macdonald, managing director at Swanvale developments, on the endurance ride as they cycled the Liverpool to Chester leg of the journey.

Alasdair Robertson organised the 1,018 mile bike ride from John O’Groats to Paris to raise money for research into the treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, an incurable muscle wasting disease, which his four-year-old son suffers from.

The team of cyclists were greeted outside Exchange Flags in Liverpool City Centre, by the Lord Mayor, the French Consulate and local businesses, to wish them well on their 1,018 mile ride to Paris.

Kate Roberts and Victoria Evans from DTM Legal then set off with the group as they cycled to Chester Town Centre.

Sally Pilott, Associate at DTM Legal said: “We’re so pleased to be supporting the cyclists with their ride to Paris and are proud of our team for taking part in the Liverpool to Chester leg of the ride. It was wonderful to greet the riders in Liverpool and their strength and commitment to such a wonderful cause is truly admirable.”

Joining the journey was good training for Kate Roberts, partner at DTM, who is set to cycle from London to Paris for Wirral Hospice, DTMLegal’s chosen charity for 2015, later this year. She said: “We were delighted that Alasdair and the team welcomed us to join them on the Liverpool to Chester leg on their journey and were surprised that we managed to keep up. The 1,018 mile ride to Paris is an incredibly tough trip and the team should be extremely proud of their achievement. The cyclists have already raised a massive £100,000 for research into treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, and aim to raise £250,000 by the end of the ride.”
