Two weeks before Christmas, Lauren, Jacob & Evie lost their man of the house, Ross Jolliffe.

After chatting with Lauren a few days after he passed, she told me about how Ross had always wanted to do the Tenby Long Course bike ride.

That night, I decided to sign up for it and dedicate my training and ride to his memory.

I then decided I'd love to raise some money for his children to be able to do something to remember him by.

A few ideas that have floated in my head have been a Liverpool trip for Jacob & a princess Disney trip for Evie.

I'm going to see what we can raise and then let Lauren and the children decide what to do.

I plan on wearing a Pentwynmawr colours themed cycling top with Ross and the children's name on it. I will wear this whilst training and also on the day.

The plan is to get to the finish line and have a Pentwynmawr no 6 football top with Jolliffe on it, held up at the finish line.

Anyone who knew Ross knew how much he loved his sport. This is a way of showing his two beautiful children just how much they are loved.

Lauren and the family will be joining me in Tenby to support me and cheer me on. If you'd like to come along, please do so. I can update everyone over the coming months with the route and good viewing spots.

I've never done this before, so it's a big challenge for me, but it's for a great cause.

Thank you for reading this and thank you for your support. 🧡🖤
