MCDONALD’S staff from Oxfordshire will set off on a three-day charity cycle ride from Oxford to Holland on Saturday.
With colleagues from Buckinghamshire, the team of 20 will raise money for Ronald McDonald House, Oxford, as they cycle to Leiden, Holland.
The House provides a free ‘home away from home’ for families with children being treated at the John Radcliffe Hospital.
Stuart Silk, of McDonald’s, said: “We chose Leiden as our destination as it’s twinned with Oxford. We expect to nurse sore feet for some time.”
Ronald McDonald House has 18 ensuite bedrooms that let more than 600 families stay close to their child in hospital in 2014. The charity has to raise £300,000 each year to meet running costs.
The group will take a ferry to Holland while the 300-mile cycle route will end at Ronald McDonald House in Leiden on Tuesday.
