On 26th May I will, along with my fellow Ripcor riders, embark on a cycle ride to Paris. We will all be raising money for The Pace Centre which is a truly remarkable facility. I was lucky enough to visit last month and was blown away by the compassion, dedication and experiences of the team at the heart of this extraordinary organisation.

Your support will help to transform the lives of children with sensory motor disorders. You will help unlock the potential of children with conditions such as cerebral palsy by helping to provide intensive specialist education and therapy individually tailored to each child. You will be giving the children the skills they need to become independent.

This is also a special ride for us as we remember our fellow rider and club treasurer, Rob Paulding, who sadly lost his life last year. It is his memory and the Pace centre that has provided us with inspiration for this ride.
