Riding for Max and Ted
Donation protected
Last year 2 very fine young men - Ted Senior and Max Davies, took their own lives. Both were 22 and were successfully embarking on their adult lives.I first met Ted and Max when I was a junior Rugby coach and they, as boys, started playing in my under 9’s team. In the following years they progressed with me through to the senior age groups. They were fantastic team players and we all grew to be part of a Monmouth rugby family – enjoying many great moments of success, laughter and love with our team mates and friends.
On July 1st 2019 I am starting my Lands End to John O’Groats cycling challenge -963 miles and 42,000 feet of climbing in 9 days unsupported! I don’t know whether I can do this BUT knowing that every £ raised will support both of these foundations and my love for both boys will drive me to the end!
The tragic deaths of both Ted and Max has had huge impact on both families and their countless friends. It has highlighted that 84 young men a week take their own lives – a horrendous statistic of which I was unaware.
Ted’s family are setting up the Ted Senior foundation – www.thetedseniorfoundation.org
Max’s family are launching the ‘Mindstep Foundation ‘ – supporting research into depression in young men and also providing support for families who suffer such tragic events.
As with so many events in life – understanding and empathy is only ‘skin deep’ unless your cosy world is impacted directly.
Actions speak louder than words so please support me in this fundraiser
