As many of you may already know, my younger brother Craig passed away following a motorcycle accident on the 24th August 2015. Since that date his friends and fellow crewmembers of the Holyhead Lifeboat, along with numerous other supporters have been working tirelessly to raise money for 'The Craig Steadman Lifeboat Fund' so a replacement Inshore Lifeboat (ILB) can be part funded and carry his name at Barmouth Lifeboat Station on the West Wales coast.

I feel it's time for me to get myself motivated and see if I can do my little bit towards their target. But I can't do this alone. On the 8th April 2017, with the support of my teammates Andy, Matt and Dave we will cycle from the gates of the Holyhead Lifeboat Station and arrive at Barmouth Lifeboat Station as a tribute to Craig. It will be a tough 70 miles, crossing Holyhead, Anglesey, then onto the mainland around the coast towards the Llyn Peninsula and on to Barmouth. I haven't ridden this sort of distance for a long time but my stubbornness and determination, coupled with your generosity will get us there. I will also add the official press release below for you to read along with a map showing roughly the route we intend to take.

All that's left to say is thank you for reading, and any thanks for your support.

Richy Steadman.

Any corporate sponsors will be promoted along the way in page updates, so if your business would like to sponsor me I will happily advertise that fact.

I am carrying out this activity to support the above mentioned cause of my own free will and fully understanding that it is carried out at my own risk.
