Congratulations to Blesma Operations Director, Ian Waller, who successfully completed the third annual 'Ride 100' event at the weekend, raising over £1,000 for Blesma in the process.
The event sees over 25,000 participants cycle 100 miles on closed roads through London and Surrey, within eight and a half hours.
Ian said, "I intended to take part in the London Marathon for Blesma this year, but because of injury had to pull out. I decided instead to focus on completing this 100 mile cycle challenge and to raise £1,000 in aid of our limbless veterans"
Ian added, "This was a tough challenge, and the cramp set in at 87 miles, but I am so proud to completed it and to have surpassed my fundraising target. Thank you everyone for the support!"
