The charities benefiting from his ride are SANDS for bereaved parents and families and HOPEHIV which seeks to help the 16 million orphans in Africa who have lost their parents to AIDS. He has raised almost £2000 so far.
"We had some friends who tragically lost their baby at the same time as our daughter was born and they received huge amounts of help and support from SANDS. I felt it an appropriate cause. HOPEHIV was chosen as this charity seeks to redress the huge problem AIDS is causing the next generation of people in a wonderful country."
