RIDING TO RAISE AWARENESS OF HEART HEALTH

to make a difference

Follow me, pledge your support, or why not join in for a leg (or two!) as I take on an unforgettable journey of 9 days and some 850 miles (likely more as we divert to event businesses en route for a coffee ;-), starting from the vibrant city of Aberdeen home to vibrant events such as Offshore Europe.
As we travel south, we'll visit some of the UK's most iconic event venues, including the SECC Glasgow; ACC Liverpool; Manchester Central, and the recently expanded ExCeL London, culminating at our beloved Detling Showground in Kent. The ride will take us through canal paths, national cycle routes, fast roads, not to mention some of the best coastal views and countryside the UK has to offer.
Along the way, we will not only be showcasing the event venues that contribute roughly £5.5 billion to the UK economy and help support around 775,000 jobs, but we'll also be shining a spotlight on some of the people and businesses that help keep the events industry running; without their tireless efforts, organising and bringing events to life for exhibitors (for whom going live in front of their customers is a key part of their growth strategy), there would be no events.

But the main focus will - as it should - be on heart health, emphasising the importance of exercise, healthy living and the mental & physical benefits of getting out into the world, engaging in experiences that not only keep us alive, but really make life worth living.

Or why not directly sponsor a leg of the journey, or our support crew - lots of opportunities to give and really make a difference

Come and Ride with me for part of a leg, should your business be nearby, or maybe a bit more.
Or why not have us call by en route for a coffee and some nutrition - so we can highlight your business on our socials.
After all, the venues are just one aspect of what makes an event truly special.

To inspire and raise awareness around the importance of understanding your body and maintaining good heart health - whilst promoting a wonderful industry that creates growth in the UK economy, provides vast levels of employment, and creates a host of wonderful stories and experiences that give meaning to the world around us.
