In June, Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision CEO Amy Coote presented Hugo with a Certificate of Appreciation for his extraordinary cycling and fundraising efforts and to thank him for raising an incredible $28,850!

“Hugo’s determination to push himself to the absolute limits, physically and mentally, to support his friend is incredibly inspiring,” Amy said.

“Hugo should be so proud of his efforts; we definitely are. The money he has raised will go a long way to help other families living with Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes,” Amy added.

A huge thanks goes to Hugo’s family who played an important role in this outstanding achievement.
