Story

Welcome and thank you for visiting our fundraising page.

My name is Andrew Legg. I am a dentist and more importantly husband to Rachael and father of four amazing boys (James, Joshua, Oliver and Charlie).

Our challenge this year is to ride 250 miles from Manchester to London non-stop in 24 hours. Concieved as a mad cap idea and published to facebook, we now have 25 riders taking part in our own mini peleton!

As part of our challenge we would like to dedicate our efforts to our nominated charities.

Bridge 2 Aid is a charity working in Tanzania providing primary dental care, education and training to local people to increase access to dental pain relief. This is something most in the developed world take for granted but is far from a given in rural Africa.

In 2011 I proudly sponsored the training of a dental officer who is now part 200 strong team of healthcare workers trained in emergency dentistry providing access to a population of 2m people in Tanzania. 

Any support of any amount wil be greatly recieved and through each small step we can all try and make a difference.

Thank you
