Ian Palmer all geared-up for the BHF's charity cycle.

Ian Palmer, Managing Director of Whites in the UK has raised over £1,500 for the British Heart Foundation by taking part in the classic London – Brighton bike ride.

The ride is over 50 miles across the punishing South Downs and includes a tortuous climb over Ditchling Beacon that turns the legs to jelly and breaks the spirit.  Many submit to walking.

Ian did over 2,000 miles in training with his cycling partner over the last three months.  Unfortunately, a week before the event his partner was taken ill and has to resort to driving the support van.  Ian’s 17-year-old son, Kieran, however stepped up to the mark to support his dad and, apparently made short work on the course as only a teenager can.
