I feel privileged to be riding the event this year and raising funds on behalf of Gareth. I have been part of the Motorcycle Team who has supported the PUT as they have ridden through the TVP area for the past few years and I thought it was about time that I swapped leather for lycra.

Riding for Gareth is particularly poignant for me as I also provided the SEG Motorcycle Escort for Gareth's Funeral in 2017. 

I know that finances are tight for everyone at the moment but I would be really grateful if you could spare a few pounds to help support this vitally important charity.
