In loving memory of Dad, whose ashes were interred on 9th Sept 2023 (which would have been his 90th birthday) at St Mary's Church, Harrow on the Hill, UK. Dad loved the church as a place of worship, and a place he came to listen to classical music and in particular the violin - Dad came to the local area to re-learn the violin during his retirement. All funds raised will go to the restoration of the spire of St Mary's Church.

The Spire of St Mary’s Church is the iconic symbol of Harrow – visible from central London and as far as Windsor. It has been a ‘homecoming landmark’ for the whole community for almost 600 years – but the lead which protects it is now failing. Will you help us save it?

The estimated cost of the Spire renovation project is £440,000 comprising the works described above and a contingency. £180,000 has already been raised; we are now raising the remaining £260,000 to complete the project.

I've been training hard for a London to Paris cycle which is 27-30th Sept 2023. You can follow my training progress below. Dad would be so proud! Much love, Sam x
