My eldest son, Chris, and I are joining the 100 mile round Leicestershire bike ride in aid of LOROS (Leicestershire Organisation for the Relief of Suffering) on September 7th.

I started cycling when I retired 5 years ago and have been building up the miles since. Chris has completed long charity bike rides before and is a competitive indoor rower (so very fit). Thus I hope he will be able to drag me round the circuit. I completed an 80 mile charity ride last year so I am confident we can complete the circuit.

Our aim is to beat the £500 I managed to collect for a mental health research unit. We hope you feel you can donate to this cause. Any amount no matter how small will make a difference.

Thank you

Kevin & Chris.

LOROS depends on charitable donations to provide their services and as none of us know when we or a family member might need to call access respite/end of life care this is clearly a worthy cause.
