I'm taking part in Tour de Test Valley for CALM because 125 lives are lost every week to suicide. And 75% of all UK suicides are male. CALM exists to change this.

This is the 10th Anniversary of Ride on Nelly and I've done 8 of the 9 previous events only missing last years 100 mile ride due to racing the same day, but I still made it to the party!

This year I'm riding the event with my daughter, Loren, who lost her brother Hayden to suicide 3 years ago. Of course we're taking on the 100 mile 'Full Monty' route. It's a great route and really fullfilling and emotional crossing the finish line after a great day out on bikes. While I've ridden 100 miles or more plenty of times, Loren has not ridden her bike this far so will be a real challenge for her both physically and emotionally.

We want to raise as much money as possible for CALM in memory of Hayden [my son], Nelson Pratt, Matt Pascoe and Carl Lovell [friends] who all took their own lives in the last 10 years.
