Story

As many of you know, my father was returning from a rugby tour in France and he along with most of his friends and teammates were killed in a commercial airline crash in a forest just outside Paris . It was devastating for the families, the town and the club. On March 3rd it will be the 50 year anniversary.

Next week I will be participating in a memorial bike ride from the crash site back to our rugby club in Bury St. Edmunds, a distance of 360+ miles. I will be raising funds for a local hospice and the rugby club. Please consider a donation however big or small. I am not built for cycling and so need all the support I can get!

Thank you for your consideration.
