The Dale Paterson Memorial Ride

We’d like to introduce you to these two amazing guys! On the left is Bob Paterson, loving dad to Jack, who Autism at Kingwood are proud to support.

Every year, Bob organises this 45-mile bike ride in memory of his late son Dale. In 2005, at aged just 13 years, Dale tragically lost his life in a car crash – and Jack was sitting next to him. Cycling is poignant to Bob because Dale used to cycle next to him when he went out of runs, and over the years, Bob has found that cycling has been the space to think about and talk to Dale.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Dale’s passing, and Bob, Dale’s family, fellow LEJOGers (Lands’ End to John O’Groats cyclists) and friends want to raise money for Autism at Kingwood.

It will mean a lot to Bob if you would support the Dale Paterson Memorial Ride this year.

The ride is a 45-mile flat circuit ride starting and finishing at Cumnor Village Hall in Oxfordshire. We would welcome other families and friends to join the ride, which starts at 10am with plenty of breaks and finishing at the hall where there will be refreshments mid-afternoon. Please contact Bob - rob.paterson5@me.com.

Thank you for your support.
