Charity bike ride up Mont Ventoux in Southern France.

On 8 September, 2012, Voerman from The Netherlands, will be competing once again in the Ven2-4Cancer challenge cycling event up the infamous Mont Ventoux in Southern France.



Last year Voerman cyclists climbed the immense Mont Ventoux 19 times (some of the group managed to complete the climb 2, 3 and even 4 times). With no less than 270 cyclists participating, a total amount of EUR 310.802.00 was raised. This year, over 500 participants have registered.

From the whole group 12 staff members will participate including members from Eurohome Relocation Services, Voerman Prague, Transpack Forwarding and Voerman The Netherlands. “It is a real group effort with 12 colleagues in action and several staff as help on the day itself and in preparation– great to see this commitment throughout our company,” commented Piet van Herk – CEO Voerman Group.  “Everybody knows somebody with cancer or someone whose family is affected. We as a company also are hit with our receptionist having cancer, so it’s close to us all.”

Voerman has a special program for its partners & agents. For companies & individuals who help with sponsoring this cause they get a year of promotion on one of its moving trucks. Logo’s will be added to special designed removal trucks.

DID YOU KNOW?
Mont Ventoux, of Tour de France fame, is one of the world’s most challenging climbs. Although its top sits at a ‘mere’ 1911 meters above sea level, it presents a formidable challenge as the climb has cyclists overcome a height difference of 1600 meters over a stretch of just 20 kilometres. The result is an excruciating average 7% climb rate, sometimes exceeding 11%, without a single occasion for recovery. The Mont Ventoux became world news during the 1967 Tour de France when British world champion cyclist Tom Simpson died just before reaching the top.
