David Minn was the most beautiful, best, smiliest, happiest, jolliest, funniest, unique, spontaneous, inspirational, positive, caring, most clever, most hard working and the most perfect son, brother, friend and mentor.

He tragically died in January 2018 in a horrific accident while doing what he loved the most - living life to the full and travelling.

He had three weeks left of his eight months of adventures, but sadly his journey ended too soon in a hiking accident in Argentina.

David had just finished his Masters in Aerospace engineering at Sheffield University when he went traveling, and he loved it there. And he grew up in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire - somewhere he also loved.

For this reason, from 6th - 12th July, join us as we cycle, run and walk an incredible 153.7 miles virtually from Borehamwood to Sheffield to honour David's memory and raise money for the Eve Appeal - which we raised over £21,500 for last year, thanks to the David Minn Bike Ride.

The reason for the Eve Appeal? David's dad Eliot lost his mum in 1970 when he was 8 to breast cancer before the BRCA gene was discovered, and we only found out four years ago that Eliot is a BRCA1 carrier - we did not realise at the time that men could be carriers too. David's sister Hayley chose to be tested at that time and was also found to be a carrier and is had a preventative double mastectomy and reconstruction in February last year. David himself had chosen to delay testing for a few years but obviously he could have been a carrier too.

We therefore decided to raise funds for the Eve Appeal, a charity that raises much-needed awareness of the five gynae cancers as well as funds for the charity's vital programmes, including Ask Eve, and we feel sure that David would have supported our efforts for this very important initiative.

We recommend that everyone takes on 5km, but please feel free to do more, if you can. All you have to do to sign up is:
