Cheshire Dash 2026 Charity Challenge

Cheshire Dash 2026 – 100 Miles Cycled for the David Lewis Centre Charity

Published by Flowjet Cleaning Equipment Ltd

At Flowjet Cleaning Equipment Ltd, we're passionate about supporting our local community, and this year we were incredibly proud to see Mel Hickson take on one of her biggest personal challenges yet – completing the Cheshire Dash 2026, a demanding 100-mile road cycling event in aid of the David Lewis Centre Charity.

The Cheshire Dash is a fantastic charity cycling event that brings together riders of all abilities to raise money for an organisation that provides life-changing care and support for people living with complex needs, including autism, epilepsy, acquired brain injuries and learning disabilities.

After months of training, determination and preparation, Mel successfully completed the full 100-mile route. It wasn't an easy challenge, but crossing the finish line made every mile worthwhile.

Together We Raised Over £31,000

The most rewarding part of the day wasn't simply completing the ride – it was knowing that, together with fellow cyclists, supporters and sponsors, more than £31,000 was raised for the David Lewis Centre Charity.

Every donation will help the charity continue delivering vital services and support to the people and families who rely on them every day.

Thank You to Our Sponsors

This achievement would not have been possible without the kindness and generosity of local businesses who supported Mel's fundraising efforts.

A heartfelt thank you goes to:
