Those of you who know me (Pete) will know this past year I've finally managed to shift a little bit of surplus weight - just over 7st so far, with a way to go yet. This started through my joining a fantastic Nutrition Club and then through increasing my activity and fitness with the help and relentless support of my amazing friend Andrew "Drill Sgt." Page.

As we approach the one-year milestone since I started, we thought it would be good to mark the occasion and raise some money for a very worthwhile locally based charity. We are therefore joining the 30 mile "Ride for Helen 2025" on Sunday 11th May, through the Essex countryside alongside my brother and niece who have done the event previously.

It would be great if you could spare a few quid and sponsor us, every penny will be gratefully received and appreciated. If you do, and are eligible, please don't forget to tick the Gift Aid box too.
