Our annual charity event is just round the corner. As with
last year, our inspiration is Lizzie Dean, a highly talented DSD engineer.
There are plenty of people at DSD now who have never met Lizzie so I have
included a link (from a different charity) all about Lizzie that really speaks
for itself. She has been through unimaginably tough times with Leukaemia over
the last 3 years but she has been given a lifeline by taking part in the
“VIOLA” trials that are funded by Bloodwise. This is why we are raising money,

A DSD team of 20+ will be riding from the North to the South
coast of Devon on the weekend of the 23^rd September. We will come
begging for sponsorship soon – be prepared!
