Thank you very much for visiting my fundraising page.

Piers Pollard, (who has a 25 year old son with Down’s Syndrome, Ben)
is doing the Capital to Coast Bike Ride, on Sunday 15^th July. The money is being raised for all the 4 charities equally:- i.e. Norwood Ravenswood, (One of the UK’s leading children and family services charities); The Down’s Syndrome Association; The Cystic Fibrosis Trust, (The UK’s only national charity dedicated to all aspects of Cystic Fibrosis) and Southern FM’s children’s charity, ‘Help a Local Child’, (helping disadvantaged children).

This is a 60 mile sponsored bike ride, from Esher College to Hove , which is just a little more than my bike journey to work!.  The route is very scenic, (reputedly one of the best Charity Bike rides in the UK !), but there are a lot of hills to ride up, including Devil's Dyke, just when you  are really exhausted! 

This is the 8th year that I have done this Bike Ride, having completed the Half Ride (Handcross to Hove ), including 4 times with my son Ben on a tandem.  Unfortunately, Ben will be still at a Residential Mencap College when the Bike Ride takes place this year, so I am doing the full 60 miles on my normal bike!

Ben has developed into a very active young man, who loves life and is learning to be independent.  He particularly enjoys any kind of sport, including swimming, and football, in particular, as well as disco-dancing and cycling on his own bike, where he leaves me trailing far behind! 

Please dig deep and sponsor me online to help all these very deserving charities.
