Cyclists Holty's Boys

Holty's Boys' fundraising journey

What is your challenge and why are you taking it on?

A group of us will be cycling from London to Brussels between Wednesday 3 September and Friday 5 September. We are taking on this challenge in memory of our friend Lewis, who we hold great memories of. Also to raise awareness of mental health and suicide prevention.
