A Domino\u2019s veteran is swapping his pizza delivery uniform for cycling gear in a bold fundraising journey.<\/p>\n
Jason Hunt, an operations development manager from Twickenham, is riding from John O\u2019Groats to Land\u2019s End to raise \u00a320,000 for the Teenage Cancer Trust.<\/p>\n
Mr Hunt, who has worked at Domino\u2019s for 22 years, said: “I\u2019ve never done anything like this before, but knowing we\u2019re raising money for such an important cause is all the motivation I need.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m proud to represent Twickenham and Domino\u2019s on this journey to hopefully raise as much money as possible.<\/p>\n
“After 22 years with Domino\u2019s, I\u2019m used to pushing myself, but this is a whole new level \u2013 especially as a novice cyclist who usually prefers an engine.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m really looking forward to seeing Britain from a cyclist\u2019s perspective, pushing myself physically and mentally and raising vital funds for Teenage Cancer Trust.”<\/p>\n
\u2018Pizza Pedallers\u2019 L to R: John Hunt, Peter Blockley and Josh Wilson (Image: Teenage Cancer Trust) Mr Hunt is joined by two colleagues from Domino\u2019s for the eight-day, 1,500km ride.<\/p>\n
The trio, calling themselves the Pizza Pedallers, are marking 10 years of partnership between Domino\u2019s and the Teenage Cancer Trust.<\/p>\n
Since 2015, Domino\u2019s has raised more than \u00a38 million for the charity.<\/p>\n
The cycling challenge involves 46,000 feet of climbing, with some days covering more than 200km and 8,000 feet of elevation.<\/p>\n
In signature Domino\u2019s style, the cyclists will wear garlic and herb dip-themed outfits and carry a pot of The Big Dip for the entire journey.<\/p>\n
Though Mr Hunt is used to long journeys on his motorcycle, this is his first time covering such distance under his own pedal power.<\/p>\n
The team will be supported by Domino\u2019s colleagues, Teenage Cancer Trust ambassadors, and members of the public along the route.<\/p>\n
