Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As some of you may know I have completed a few of these rides in the past, one a memorable but very hot 70 mile off-road over the South Downs. My son, Kalani, and I wanted to do another one to do some good and also because he's hoping to add some "points" to get on board the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme with his school. Another goal to aim for!

Lastly, we had some sad news the other day as one of his teachers passed away from a sudden heart attack. This was totally unexpected from an otherwise healthy and fit young man and just highlights the valuable work BHF do in detecting heart issues and helping to prevent untimely deaths. Mr Lewis left behind a wife and two young daughters.

Not looking forward to pedalling up Ditchling Hill much but fish and chips on Brighton beach will be a welcome finish!
