Why we're riding

We're taking on this father-and-son challenge to raise money for The Chocolate Run, which supports local people experiencing homelessness and those who are vulnerably housed in Harlow.

There is also a very personal reason behind this challenge. My mum and Charlie's nan, Iris Dowers, worked with The Chocolate Run a few years ago, supporting people who were homeless. The Chocolate Run also gave our nephew, Greg Burton, huge support at a real time of need.

That connection means a great deal to our family, and it's why we're especially proud to be supporting The Chocolate Run on this ride.
