Story

Hi Everyone

20 mainly old codgers are undertaking a 200 mile bike ride from Spalding in Lincolnshire to Old Sodbury near Bristol to raise funds for the Bristol section of the Kidney Patients Association.

The ride is in memory of a friend of the group who sadly died last year from this terrible disease. The KPA provided vital support to our friend, and the monies you donate, will go directly to the charity to help continue to support the sufferers of this terrible disease.

10 of our group are raising funds via this just giving page. This includes the following riders.

Chris Foster

Ian Alderson

Max Alderson

Mike Alderson

Nick Randall

David Shenton

Steve Febry

Dave Mason

Pete Griffiths

Steve Davidge

If you are family, friend or a contact of any of those riders we would really appreciate you handing over a few of your hard earned pennies for such a great cause.

Please also tick gift aid as the government will add 25% to your donation. 100% of all the monies goes direct to the specific unit that supported our friend Jeremy.

The cover photo is of Chris Foster out on his bike having stopped at a great road in Northampton. With its steep turns it’s definitely advisory to wear your helmet.

There are also an assortment of photos of our group from a previous ride as well.

Thank you for your donation.
