Story

In 13 days me & 6 others begin our 308 mile cycle ride from London to Paris in memory of George Zoggy Zographou, who tragically & suddenly died August 16th 2017 from Meningitis B whilst attending a festival.

George was loved by a number of people. I recall every Thursday he would pester me to join him out on the sesh at his favourite club Thekla, for the weekly 'Thekla Thursday'. He was the ledgend who introduced me to 'Brooklyn Zoo', he was the organiser who'd bring everyone together. George was the man who played a part it everyone's lives.

Myself & 6 frienss have decided to chanel our grief into something positive and make change. We are cycling from London > Paris this year to educate and inspire others whilst making positive changes to Public Health in this county, as well as to help fund the trials for meningitid B vaccines in teenagers.
