GRS Stone Supplies Proudly Supports Children’s Hospice South West’s Flagship Cycling Fundraising Challenge
Bristol-based GRS Stone Supplies has once again demonstrated its commitment to supporting Children's Hospice South West (CHSW), by sponsoring this year's Ride for Precious Lives cycling challenge in July.
The latest donation builds on the company's previous support for the charity, helping to raise vital funds to provide expert care to babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions and their families.
The company has so far donated £13,500 towards the fundraising efforts of participant Adrian Coombs, who is taking part in the charity cycling event for the 13th year.
Adrian first completed Ride for Precious Lives in 2012 and has returned every year since, raising an incredible amount for Children's Hospice South West. This year's ride is expected to see his fundraising total reach an impressive £80,000, with a target of £100,000 by his 15th year supporting the charity.
As a business situated in the South West, GRS Stone Supplies is proud to support a charity that makes a meaningful difference to local families across the region.
A spokesperson for GRS Stone Supplies said:
We are delighted to support such a wonderful charity that provides vital help to so many children and their families during some of the toughest times they face. Being a local organisation to us in Durnford Quarry, it is especially meaningful to be able to contribute to a cause that makes such a positive difference in our community and beyond. We are proud to play a small part in supporting the incredible work they do and a huge shout out to Adrian for his amazing commitment and determination in achieving his goal in raising £100,000 for this truly worthy charity.
Ride for Precious Lives 2026 will see Adrian join 84 fellow cyclists to complete a 212-mile route from Charlton Farm children's hospice in Wraxall to Little Harbour children's hospice in St Austell. Along the way, riders will also stop at Little Bridge House children's hospice in Barnstaple.
