Mont Ventoux was a blast!

The ZWAP cycle from the top to the bottom of Portugal was hot, hilly and huge! Great friendships have been forged.

More details for 2025 information on the 30 sports challenges for September will follow.

The Everyone Active Podcast got me talking about exercise and Parkinson’s along with Alastair Macfarlane. Great to learn more about their free membership and services for people with Parkinson’s.

Special donation received

Thank you to Mark Heasman for his donation of a book celebrating 40 years of British Sport that was sent to John Major in 1993when he was the UK’s Prime Minister. Many of the images in the book are signed by heroes including Roger Bannister, Bobby Moore, Bobby Charlton and Tessa Sanderson. We will be arranging an auction of the book soon. If you’d like to be kept informed, please just let me know.
