Hairdressers Take to Their Bikes for Charity

Published 18th Oct 2024 by Josie Jackson

The annual Hair & Beauty Charity Bike Ride saw participants tackle 100km in 30-degree heat in a bid to raise money for the industry charity. The group of hair and beauty professionals cycled through the stunning scenery of Cyprus, taking in the landmarks and local refreshments along the way.

The group – many of whom had done the charity bike ride before – supported the new participants through the four-day trip. The Hair & Beauty Charity will use the money raised to help beneficiaries across the UK.

The incredible cyclists were

  •        Victor Pajak
  •        Mariya Tsvetkova
  •        Anne Veck
  •        Yonas Tita
  •        Brian Thomson
  •        Phil Chivers
  •        Jeff Goodwin
  •        Andy Mercer
  •        Julie Merce

One the cyclists, Anne Veck, said: “Riding 100km for the Hair & Beauty Charity is an absolute blast! The group is incredible, the challenge is exhilarating, the location is stunning and it’s all for an amazing cause.

“People often ask me why I’d do something so crazy – my answer? Because I can. I’m doing it for those who can’t, whether it’s due to health issues or simply a lack of mental capacity. Let’s show kindness and support to everyone, no matter their circumstances.”
