Story
It was a few months ago, when Mark turned to me and said I turn 40 this year and I want to do the London to Brighton bike ride.
It will be a laugh he said, I thought yeah ok let's give it a go and we can raise money for a great cause while we are at it.
So Mark, Jake and I decided to take on the 60 mile bike ride as a personal challenge in our latter years and support the fantastic Sales Trust while we are at it.
The London to Brighton Bike Ride
This is a grueling 60 mile bike ride making our way from Clapham Junction and through the rolling hills of Surrey with the daunting Ditchling Beacon to finish off, with an average gradient of 10% topping out at 16%. So this should be fun.
The Alexandra Sales Trust
The Alexandra Sales Trust was set up to create a legacy in memory of Alexandra who was diagnosed in 2013 with Metastatic Rhabdomysarcoma. Alexandra passed away in September 2014 aged just 17.
The Trust aims to support children and young people living with cancer by raising funds to help other children in similar circumstances to what Alexandra endured.
With thanks to so many kind and generous people, the Trust has supported hundreds of children and families.
Anything that you donate will be put to amazing use by the Trust, and will directly benefit those who most need it.
