I regard it as one of the best days of the year”, so they sponsor themselves. 4.

Mary and Patrck North Moreton, All Saints Mary Greene wrote the following in Greene reply to my e-mailed thank you: “Personally I believe I have ridden on every Ride and Stride since it was first started and that goes for Patrick too, except that he broke his leg in August 2009 and due to hospital problems it has only healed this year. So this year, he rode his bike for the first time for more than 2 years to accompany me and we jointly raised the £500 together using only one form for economy of paper!

Over the years, we have had marvellous support from many residents of North Moreton and the money raised is very much down to them. Patrick when he couldn't ride used his leg cast as a way to raise some money by asking residents to guess the cast weight to the nearest half once.

If you would like any further information please feel free to contact us again for more detail.”
