<p><span style="color: #000000;">Collectively over the past past two years, through cycle rides and various events my parents have organised, our supporters and participators have raised in excess of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">£80,000 </span>for <strong>BTRC</strong>. This is an <span style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">astonishing </span>amount and I would like to thank you all for your generosity.</span></p>
