Story

<p>This is our 4th consecutive year of riding the London to Brighton to raise money for Mind, in memory of Jo Dobson/mummy, since&nbsp;she died in 2007. We can't belive how time flies, but our wonderful memories of mummy/Jo are just as fresh, and we continue to remember her with this 56 mile bike ride.</p> <p>Each year Chris, Theo and Emily are joined by friends and family who also want to remember Jo and do something fun to raise money for Mind, in her memory. This year is no exception, and we even have brave folk who are coming back for more - willing to push through the pain of the Ditchling Beacon once again!</p> <p>This years team joining Chris, Theo and Emily includes Cary Norman, Maryanne Nicholls, Mike Scholl, Anthony Jacques, Alastair Wray, Pete Whitfield, Tom Taylor, Mel Duckett, Mike Horner, Albert, and more to join hopefully!</p> <p>If this isn't enough you can also sponsor Chris, Theo and Emily as they cycle across Spain in August. We are doing the Compostella de Santiago Pilgrimage trail- that's 780km across the breadth of Spain starting from France. Well Chris is doing that, Theo and Emily are joining halfway for 400km - that's 6 day's of the London to Brighton, and 2 weeks for Chris! The London to Brighton is part of our training!</p> <p>Mind is a fantastic charity and they are making real change to the lives of those who suffer from mental illness, at both ground level through community projects and at national&nbsp;level&nbsp;by tackling the stigma surrounding it. We are proud to support them in Jo's memory.</p> <p>Thankyou for sponsoring us...please say who you are supporting below when you make your donation so we know who to thank!</p> <p>Thank you for visiting&nbsp;our&nbsp;fundraising page.
