As many of you know, last year, on the 1st of April, LB member ‘Full Throttle’ & my friend Ali tragically passed away after an accident on his bike. We arranged a ride last summer in memory of Ali and to collect money for a tree to remember our fallen friend.
The memorial ride went very well and people kindly donated towards the £500 needed for the tree. We initially had problems with sorting a tree out at Regents park as they were not planting any new trees there this year due to the long hot summer. We were lucky enough to secure a tree (about 3 weeks old) at Hyde park and we will be having a small ceremony to mark the occasion and you are all invited to show your support and remember Ali as it coincides with the anniversary of his death (well a day after).
So if your would like to attend the ceremony at Hyde park on Monday the 2nd of April, please put your name down. I appreciate its on a work day for most people but if you can make it your more than welcome.
I didn’t know Ali, but read all about it when I joined - and I have a few ‘fallen heroes’ of my own to remember. So count me in please, it would be both an honour and a moment to reflect:
Sam, unfortunaly chance are i wont be around, wish i could be but wont be in london till the week after. Best of luck with this, if u need anything let me know.
