Story

I am taking part in the 50th Anniversary Memorial Cycle Ride supporting Bury St Edmunds Rugby Club & St Nicholas Hospice Care. We are cycling 354 miles from Paris to Bury St Edmunds Rugby Club.

The ride is has been organised to raise funds and remember my father, Bryan Ellis, and his 17 friends who perished in the Paris Air tragedy in 1974 on their way back from a weekend rugby tour in Paris.

Please give what you can to encourage me on the ride and support Bury St Edmunds Rugby Club and St Nicholas Hospice care. Two amazing organisations.
