It goes without saying that as a business we were and still are, devastated by the loss of Gemma and we want to make sure she is always remembered.   

To this end, we have created ‘The Petrie Challenge’ and committed to undertaking a number of challenges each year to raise money for a worthy cause in Gemma’s memory.  

Details of each year’s chosen challenges are detailed here along with how you can support us as-well as photos and results from anything we do.

Our first challenge is the Coast to Coast Cycle over 3 days 10-12 May. This is a tough 136 mile ride from Workington on the West coast through the Lake District, over the Pennines and finally downhill in to Tynemouth! The team is a mixed bag of experienced cyclists through to non-cyclists who have all committed to the challenge and are training hard to make our first fund-raising effort a success!

Later in the year there’s some competitive eating on the cards with our ‘Eggs-on-Toast’ eating challenge and finally in November, for anyone brave enough we’re taking part in the Dovedale Dash! 

No doubt there will be more to add as the year goes on... please keep coming back to see what we’ve achieved!
