I lost my Cousin, Daniel Ryan to suicide. It was horrendous for his young family, his sisters and his poor Mum.  

I lost an RAF colleague and a much loved friend, Dave Todd, to Suicide. He also left behind a young family and his RAF brothers were heartbroken.

Very recently I lost another one of my dearest friends to suicide. Someone I loved like a brother, my fellow Jolly Boy, Nick May, who also left behind two young kids and a heartbroken family.

It was a final straw for me and I just felt compelled to do something, anything, to try and help stop this happening.

So, with the support and backing of my wife and friends, who are riding alongside me, I am going to cycle from where I live in Trimdon Village (Northeast England), to Caldicot in South Wales, in just three days in the hope that we can raise £5,000 for PAPYRUS, the national Charity for the Prevention of Suicide. 

I suffer with a liver disease that means I get exhausted easily, so three back to back ten hour rides will be a truly grueling challenge for me.

You will be able to see all the training I put in, via this page, and track my progress as we move towards the event.

I hope you will get behind us all, and make a donation, no matter how small.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.
