Story

On the 19th of January 2019, we (Calum, Harry and Francis) will be racing the Strathpuffer 24 hour mountain bike race, in memory of our great friend Ben Forsyth. Ben was an inspirational person and cyclist, incredibility gifted on and off the bike and was a joy to be around.

We will be raising funds for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY), an amazing charity offering support to young people and their families dealing with heart disease. In addition, we are offering an open invitation to anyone to ride a lap as our fourth man on the day. If you knew Ben or not we encourage you to stop by, say hello and take the timing chip out for a lap in his memory.

Any donations would be hugely appreciated and we thank you all greatly in advance

Every week in the UK at least 12 apparently fit and healthy young people die of undiagnosed cardiac conditions. With your donation, CRY can reduce the frequency of young sudden cardiac death (YSCD) by working with cardiologists and family doctors to establish good practice and appropriate screening facilities to promote and protect the cardiac health of our young. By supporting CRY you will help save young lives from these potentially fatal cardiac conditions. See how your support can help by visiting www.c-r-y.org.uk
