On Sunday 28th May 2023 three old friends (Dominic, Jamie & Richard) will be taking part in the RideLondon-Essex 100 to raise funds for Winston's Wish. This is a mass participation event starting in central London and heading out into Essex before returning for a finish in the capital 100 miles later!

A bit about Winston’s Wish. They were the UK’s first childhood bereavement charity and have been supporting grieving children and young people since 1992. Winston's Wish lead the way in providing specialist child bereavement support services across the UK. Winston’s Wish provides emotional and practical bereavement support to children, young people and those who care for them. Our expert teams offer one off and ongoing bereavement support and we also provide online resources, specialist publications and training for professionals.

Dominic's Story: Winston's Wish is a charity very close to my heart following the death of my brother when I was 9 years old. At that time, there was no real support network for our family to help cope with our grief. At such a young age I was not able to process what had happened, I would always try to be brave and never show a sad face to anyone and I paid for that later in life. Having the support of an organisation like Winston's Wish would have made such a difference and I'm now making it my goal to support and advocate their work so that others don't have to have the same experiences as I did.
