Bike for Beth

Our beautiful and caring daughter Bethan died suddenly on February 8, 2020, at the age of just 21. This has obviously devastated the lives of myself, my wife, Jane, and our son, Rhys, who was so close to his big sister.

My aim is to cycle from Cardiff to Narberth in west Wales- about 100 miles- every year on Bethan's birthday, 28 August. Bethan loved Narberth and I will wear lots of pink, her favourite colour, and drink lots of hot chocolate, her favourite drink, on the way.

This first year will only be a small event- Covid has obviously hampered organisation, as has the ongoing investigation into Bethan's death from sepsis (we were horribly let down by the medics and she should not have died) - but we are hopeful that over the years others will join in this and other events, and we can raise a considerable amount for a charity, Crohn's & Colitis UK, that was very close to Bethan's heart after she had been diagnosed with Crohn's in 2019, as well as 2 Wish Upon A Star and the Professional Cricketers' Trust, who have both been so good to us since Bethan's death.

Please support this if you can, and if anyone is interested in riding, either this year or next, then please contact me.
