Our dear friend Abigail lost her fight with Cancer and left so many with a big hole in their hearts and lives.
She had so much positivity and made an impact on everyone she met.
A courageous fighter to the end, still selflessly worrying about others.
She will always have a place in our heart and minds and never be forgotten.

Doing so much for others it seems right to raise funds for the charity that did so much for her.

Sue Ryder supports people through the most difficult times of their lives. Whether that’s a terminal illness, the loss of a loved one or a neurological condition – they’re there when it matters. Their doctors, nurses and carers give people the compassion and expert care they need to help them live.

The “3 4 50 challenge” is about me doing 3 events in my 50th year to raise funds for four very important charities that have impacted people in my life.

Its also personal! Most of you will know that I cycle a bit, but most won’t know that I was unable to for 14 months.

After getting ill I needed two operations to help me get better. I didn’t know if I’d be able to cycle again. Finding out that I can has driven me to do as much as I can for others whilst I am still able to.

50 is a big birthday and key year for many people and very much so for me. My dad passed away in his 50th year and in his memory, I am raising money for the forces family that was important to him.

2 amazing people and friends sadly didn’t get the opportunity to celebrate their 50th birthdays with us. Two beautiful ladies making a difference to people’s lives taken way too early by Cancer. In memory of these special ladies I am raising money for two charities that were full of incredible people caring for them throughout their fights – Sue Ryder and St. Micheal’s Hospices.

This is also for all family members and friends affected by Cancer.

Within my family and circle of friends we have been affected by the impact of heart disease. Gratefully saving and extending life through amazing heart surgery teams but also sadly losing my Uncle Steve. In his memory I am riding from London to Brighton for the British Heart Foundation.
