Report and photos from the Aviemore Meet in May



Ed Bramley, a long standing member, completed his Lands' End to John O'Groats bike ride on 30 June.

It marked four years since he was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer. Which they only found when they were fitting Ed with a new heart valve. So there are lots of reasons for him to celebrate! And give back to two organisations that have helped him and his family the most: Prostate Cancer UK and Leeds Hospitals Charity.
