We are raising money in memory of our James and Dave. On Friday 27th May Henry Bartle, Ollie Ward, Joe Braham and Jeremy Butterfield will begin #DOIT4JAMES&DAVE. 24 hours to cycle 1573km between us all on a bike erg (the distance from Harrogate to Monaco). Both James and Dave loved F1 so it was only right we all ‘travelled' to the Monaco Grand Prix this year.

In April 2020 our best friend James was devastatingly diagnosed with a rare type of bone cancer called Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS). Over the following year he battled through various types of gruelling chemotherapy & radiotherapy treatment. James fought so hard but sadly lost his battle with cancer. Half of the money raised will be donated to Leeds Hospitals Charity, who will allocate it to Leeds Cancer Centre; a centre very close to James’ heart. The money raised will go towards support and help for others fighting the same fight our best mate did so bravely.

In December 2021 Dave devastatingly lost his battle with Covid-19. Dave was the most thoughtful, caring, gentle and humble human who did so much for children and teenagers across the district. We will follow on in Dave’s footsteps and support children’s education across the UK. Half of the money raised will be donated to The David Brown Foundation.

Both James and Dave never gave up in their fights and we will continue their legacies to help others fight the challenges they are facing. Every cycle of the erg they will be with us (probably with a wry smile and a Peroni in hand). Forever in our hearts James & Dave, we love you and we will make it to Monaco together 💙🍾🏁🏎

Please donate as much or as little as you can. Every donation is massively appreciated and will go great lengths to helping those who need it most.

Thank you from the 4 of us x
