We raise money for national charities. In 2014 Simon rode his bike from London to Paris to raise money for the charity Mind and an Epilepsy charity. He raised over £2000, and in 2016 I completed the London Marathon, and in 2017, I also completed the Silverstone half marathon, held raffles and cake sales to raise over £2500 for Cancer Research and Alzheimer’s Society.
