Beverley Rotarian Peter Delaney sadly lost his wife to Motor Neurone Disease in 2022, aged 69. As a tribute to her and to raise funds for MND ressearch, Peter embarked on a cycle ride from Land's End to John O'Groats in April and May 2024.
With the help of his brother Jim and members of our club, planning began in 2023. As a former rugby players the brothers planned to involve Rugby Clubs and Rotary Clubs along the way to help with fund raisinf, ride support and publicity.
