Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page for Gerrys Pacemakers.

The purpose of this page is to take as much of your hard earned cash and donate it towards a fantastic charity, but for what reason?

What makes a team of 12 work colleagues aged from 30 to 50 ish decide to slip into lycra and get on a bike and cycle 56 miles, from London to the bright lights of Brighton! To be honest I think most of us are asking the same thing as we start to get into training for the challenge a head, and instead of cycling to a local pub we are cycling past them, all in the memory of our dear friend and colleague Gerard Henry.

Gerry was life and sole of the party and at many of our work do's we often mentioned doing a charity ride together (and that wasnt on Gerrys motorbike), but as the beers flowed and the night continued sadly the planning got lost, as well as many of the nights memories !

So in the wake of a huge loss we have decided to do what we thought was right and give the big man a big laugh watching us struggle over the line! And for those of you who know the team, you will realise that the  majority of us are closer to voluntary redundacy than we are to any finish line, so this will be a real challenge!

But we hope that through our moment of madness there will be memories shared and stories exchanged to honour a true gentleman.

Through this page there will be lots of events going on, and this isnt about what we are doing as a team but what we can all do together, be it as a friend of Gerry's, or his dearly love family we can all play a part and help us reach our target 5k to try and help this worthy cause.

I hope you all dig deep and help us smash our target!

Thanks
