David Taylor and Lester Rickard have finished their cycle ride from Land's End to John O'Groats. They arrived safely on
Saturday 1st September, having completed the ride as planned in 8 days, averaging around 130 miles per day. Derrick's sister Rita and other family members cheered them on their way from Land's End:
see Rita's Public Gallery for some pictures of this and of Derrick at Stoke Mandeville. At the
suggestion of the National Spinal Injuries Centre, Lester and David are using the occasion to raise funds towards purchase of a gymnasium, to help Derrick in his rehabilitation. Any surplus funds will be donated to the hospital.
Your contributions would be greatly appreciated. Pledges can still be made via email to david.b.taylor@btinternet.com
Here is the Sponsor Form for you to print if you wish.
This is the poster which Lester has circulated at Kohler Mira Ltd where Derrick works - it has already
attracted a lot of sponsorship from Mira colleagues:
