I was blessed to have met Alan and to have shared such a sweet, strong love with him.  He was taken from us all too early, and too quickly.  But I'm still blessed to be left with lovely, sustaining relationships with his two beautiful daughers and with all their wonderful friends and families.  So we all want to get on our bikes to raise money for an awesome charity - Heart of Kent Hospice - and to have a laugh in memory of the most gorgeous of men, Alan Bishop.
