Story

In tribute to my father who died in November 2016 I will be riding in the Prudential RideLondon 46 event on 30th July to raise funds for the British Lung Foundation. The BLF is the only charity in the UK that supports research into a condition, that effects millions, the third most common cause of death in the UK, COPD. Any donations to support their work would be very much appreciated and help to continue the vital research that my dad dedicated so much of his life too. Many thanks Catherine x
