Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research Bikeathon 2010

The 14th Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research London Bikeathon took place on the 27th June, raising over half a million pound. The money raised will go towards finding a cure for blood caners. This was the 50th anniversary for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research, and they decided to use Gaudio bespoke awards rather than the usual off-the-shelf plaques. The charity were thrilled with the awards and told us:

"Just wanted to say a huge thank you for your help with our awards this year. They looked so much better than our previous wooden plaques and it’s great that our fundraisers can keep their awards this time rather than handing them back after a year. Thanks so much again for your help and I hope that we can work together again next year!"

The awards were presented to the top fundraisers at an awards dinner, with celebrity presenters including John Michie (Taggart), Michelle Cockayne and Tony Audenshaw from Emmerdale.
