2 weeks out and Iain has joined us..... anyone else?

Update posted by Tom Hatton

Hey all,

We are two weeks away from actually trying this thing and another of Matty's mates has thankfully joined us for the ride - Iain Wilson, who used to run a community bike project with Matty has a spot on LEL and is joining our team to help fundraise (and probably drag my sorry arse along into a headwind judging by the last time we rode together).

There aren't any other spots available on LEL, but if anyone fancies joining us for a stretch of it then you will be more than welcome - particularly on the journey back when we're going to be completely knackered and probably facing into a headwind. There will be a tracking system on the website https://londonedinburghlondon.com/ so you can see when we go in and leave the various control points en route. My Rider Number is R47 if you'd like to check how we're getting on.

The good news is that Matty is continuing to show signs of improvement, over 18 months since the accident, particularly with conscious verbal responses to questions or stimuli. The money you've helped provide has been a big part of that and we thankyou massively for it. I'd like to keep things going though, as it's clear that Matty still has a very long and difficult path of him, despite the amazing progress he has made so far. If you were able to share this website on your social media networks over the next couple of weeks that would be ace. Cheers everyone!


Tom
