Andy's riding The Bà Sportive for The Adam Lewis Barry Foundation

Andrew Walker is raising money for The Adam Lewis Barry Foundation
In memory of Adam Barry

The Bà Sportive 2025 · 6 September 2025

We are working together to raise funds to ensure we are putting smiles back on faces for those who have endured loss and bereavement, and to ensure support within musical education and cycling events and activities are never too far away for those who need it.

Story

On 6 September this year, I will be taking part in the Bá Sportive which is a 90-mile cycling event in the North-West of Scotland which includes the (in)famous Bealach Na Bá, a stretch of road which rises from sea level to 626m over around 10km).

Why am I doing this?!

Firstly, I enjoy riding a bike and like a challenge.

More importantly, I want to raise awareness (and hopefully some money) for this amazing foundation; this is a charity founded by some very good friends of mine, Bev & Peter Barry following the loss of their son Adam in 2020, aged just 15. Adam was tragically killed by a drunk driver in a hit and run incident. Through events & fundraising, the foundation is seeking to support in providing access to better bereavement counselling and musical events for those who are in need.

More updates will follow as the event approaches but please give generously if you can.
