A group of cyclists who raised more than £3,000 last year for the RNLI in memory of a friend have been riding and walking again this year, and boosted the life-saving charity’s funds by another £1,400.
Senior fitness instructor Matthew Payne organised the sponsored events...a 131mile cycle ride from Lyme Regis lifeboat station with five colleagues to the lifeboat station in Newquay, and a 41 mile walk along the East Devon Way from Exmouth lifeboat station to the Lyme Regis RNLI base with three of his friends.
The fund raising events were in memory of Matthew’s best friend Adam Bounds who died, aged 41, in 2021. Adam loved Lyme Regis, particularly Lifeboat Week, and the friends often visited Newquay.
