Firstly, I'm not really a cyclist. I guess I will be after; or I'll never straddle a saddle again.
So, why ride from Aberdeen to Leek ? It's one of few events to celebrate the life of Chris Parr: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/ChristopherParr_1
I can't say I knew Chris well. There are many others who are better placed to say what a great young man He was.
What struck me was his cheerful and positive manner. He was a real joy to chat to. He had real potential.
Having been blessed with two wonderful sons of a similar age I cannot come close to understanding the loss to Chris' family and friends. I do know that along with celebrating the vibrant life Chris had, I want to do what I can to prevent this happening to others. I'm doing this by joining a group of Chris's friends from his former Uni in raising money for CRY.
