This year The Highdown Halfwits will ride as Team Alfie to raise much needed funds for Chestnut Tree House.

We are doing this in memory of young Alfie Meyrick, the grandson of our friends and old neighbours Helen & Ivan Fowlie. Alfie sadly died at just 7 months old from Gauchers Disease Type 2. This is a rare genetic disorder for which there is no treatment.

Alfie was cared for in his final days by Chestnut Tree House and they continue to provide essential bereavement support to the family.

I shall again be doing the 60k ride and your generous support would again be very much appreciated.
