Sadly 6 months ago I lost a good friend, George Crawford aged 20. His Mum, Dad and Sister are setting up a trust in his name, The George Crawford Legacy Trust.

George had a love for life especially farming, motor cross and his racing ponies. Money each year will be awarded to someone of similar age to George deserving of a helping hand into agriculture, whether it be tuition fees paid or a bursary to go to university among other things. The trust has already sponsored a pony to assist riding for the disabled.

In order to raise money, the first fundraiser is a bike ride on 2nd June 2019, a total of 364 miles over 4 days from his home in Melrose to Harper Adams University where he sadly lost his life. Each rider is hoping to raise a sum of money and every £1 raised will be paid into the trust.

I’m doing the ride alongside my Dad, George’s Dad and several of his family and friends. We will be funding our own accommodation and food.

We’d really appreciate any money you could spare for this very good cause, thanks for reading, George.
