To help raise funds towards the Memorial Tree being planned by Lauren and Chris Brydson, I will be tackling three cycling sportives in the next four months with the help of Neila.

With your generous donations, we can contribute towards the £18,000 cost of installing the tree, which will be a memorial for parents across the region who have suffered a tragic loss. By having a place to honour and remember their children, this Memorial Tree can be beneficial to people all over Dumfries and Galloway.

The three cycling challenges will take place on May 19th, July 21st and August 10th, totalling well over 100 miles. As someone who hasn't cycled since the age of 10 and a terrible track record of broken bones, it will be a big effort but it was a task worth taking on for such a great cause.
