Cycle For Sue

Earlier this year, Holstein UK Group CEO Sue Cope passed away after a courageous battle with illness. Sue worked for the business for over 25 years and she was not only a fantastic leader, but an inspiration, mentor and friend. We are raising money for her chosen charity Brain Tumour Research who supported Sue during this time.

Further information

Brain Tumour Research is the only national charity in the UK focused on finding a cure for all types of brain tumours through campaigning to increase the national investment in brain tumour research to £35 million per year, while fundraising to create a network of seven sustainable Brain Tumour Research Centres of Excellence across the UK. Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer, yet historically just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease.

“We are honoured that the Holstein UK Group are fundraising for Brain Tumour Research, inspired by the loss of Chief Executive, Sue Cope. Whilst the loss of a much loved and respected colleague and friend is heart-breaking, I am sure that the whole team will achieve their goal whilst raising money and awareness”, says Melanie Tiley from Brain Tumour Research.

Hannah Williams, Head of Events & Marketing, Holstein UK adds, “In memory of Sue we felt UK Dairy Day was the right platform to fundraise for Brain Tumour Research.  We start setting up at the International Centre for UK Dairy Day on Friday, at the same we will start cycling a total of 867 miles on two spin bikes.  A Just Giving page has been set up and we welcome donations in advance or on the day”.
