“Completing the ride has been a long term ambition, and now that I am semi-retired I have the time to do it and also the many training hours required to try and prepare my ageing body for the challenge,” he said.
“I am supporting the Action Centre, because as a volunteer driver for them, I see at first hand the great work they do for vulnerable and older people across Bassetlaw. “
David is funding the trip entirely from his own resources and all monies raised will go to the Action Centre to support the work they carry out.
