In memory of Donnie the Coach and JP

Charity Bike Ride from Wolverhamton to Teignmouth · 16 August 2025

We’re Mind, the mental health charity, working across England & Wales. We believe no one should face a mental health problem alone. We’re here for you. Whether you’re stressed, depressed or in crisis. We’ll listen, give support & advice, & fight your corner. Thanks for fundraising for national Mind.

Story

Its 10 years ago that our friend DC lost his battle with cancer. And last year we suffered the devasting news that his good friend and our good friend JP lost his battle with mental health. So with that in mind its time I ride out again to celebrate their wonderful lives. After recently suffering my own fall with mental health I will be raising money for Mind. My challenge is to ride from Wolverhampton in the West Midlands to Teignmouth in Devon. My first stop will be Nuneaton which is where JP grew up and where his family are. Then I'll head down to Guildford which is where DC was from and where his parents David and Linda are. Then I'll head home to Teignmouth in Devon. All in all its around 370 miles in 9 days. I'll be asking my friends to put me up and feed me along the way. As well as sparing a few pounds for a wondeful charity please dust of your bikes and come and join me for a few miles. I'd love to see you and catch up. And hopefully in Nuneaton we can share a few beers and say cheers to our good freinds who are up there looking down on us and smiling. All my love - Boydi X
