Commenting on the event, Michael Burns said, “Each of Zurich’s UK regional offices has nominated a charity and we decided to support Positive Futures. We want to raise as much money as possible and hope that local businesses and people will get behind our efforts.”

Businesses and individuals can back Positive Futures by sponsoring the Zurich team. Zurich Insurance will increase the amount raised by the cycle team by 50%.
