Rhino Recruitments Ride for Hope Rescue

If you've been keeping up with Rhino Recruitment on social media, you might have caught wind of our latest venture at the Cardiff office—a charity event that truly went the "extra mile."

 

Last Wednesday, our CEO Andrew Roberts took on a superhuman challenge: a half-man, half-machine feat by riding his Peloton all the way from Cardiff to London all in support of Hope Rescue—a remarkable dog rescue centre that takes in strays of all ages, breeds, and medical conditions.

 

But Hope Rescue isn't just about sheltering dogs. They also provide critical assistance to pet owners in crisis,  including those facing homelessness or escaping domestic abuse, by offering temporary care for their dogs.

 

After cycling an impressive 168.8 miles and burning through 9,180 calories, Andrew triumphantly rolled into London. And the numbers? Well, it only took a mere 9 hours and 8 minutes on the bike, with a jaw-dropping 84,533 pedal rotations along the way!

 

 

 

 

The cherry on top? We achieved our goal of raising £750 through our GoFundMe. It's a victory made all the sweeter by the knowledge that every pound raised will directly support Hope Rescue.

 

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated and supported us throughout this journey. Your generosity and encouragement made all the difference. We couldn't have done it without you!
