Hero's

[loudefc]

The 4 other people who rode with me from Eastleigh FC to Weston-Super Mare FC. In our annual charity bike ride for the Rose Road Appeal.

But the biggest hero of the weekend was the 68 year old lady walking from Cornwall to Canterbury. We had the pleasure to meet her @ the City sign in Salisbury.

Absolutely top notch ;D

Wish I could have come with you.

Well done, those FIVE people, plus the walking lady! Can you tell us a little about the Rose Road Appeal and your involvement?

Basically we do a charity weekend each season for a local charity.

Our old sadly departed chairman put us in touch with the road rose

That's awesome. Good for you.

Not wishing to detract from the main point of this thread, but I do wish there were more charities/organisations like that dealing with adults who have similar issues. Kids are seen as cute and cuddly by society and awww, it's a disabled kid! but far fewer people have the same reaction when faced with an adult who does "unattractive" things like, say, drooling or collecting rubbish.

That doesn't make the kids' charities, or the fact that you guys are helping them out, any less awesome though
