Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. My Brother Peter, his daughter Francesca, her boyfriend Daniel and myself, expertly supported by Margaret(Peter's better half), are going to cycle from Roscoff to Nerja, near Malaga. We are doing this for Patrick, an amazing nephew, son, brother and friend to many. The family and his friends elected to support Canine Partners in his memory and have already sponsored the training of one dog called Lester. "Canine Partners is a registered charity that trains dogs to transform the lives of people with disabilities, including veterans and current serving members of HM Armed Forces. The dogs are trained to help with every day tasks such as opening and shutting doors, unloading the washing machine, picking up dropped items, pressing buttons and switches and fetching help in an emergency." http://www.caninepartners.org.uk
The Roscoff to Nerja bike ride will take place in May 2017 and the plan is to complete an average of 100 miles a day. The ride will be the final effort in an 11 month campaign which started with a 68 mile Essex Road Sportive on July 3rd 2016.
We all thank you for your donation. It will make a big difference to somebody's life! 15,000.00 pounds will help fund the training of two dogs.
