can you help him support this local charity? Vince lives with his wife Karen and two children in West Putney and is regularly seen on his bike in Richmond Park and on the annual London to Brighton race, however he has now set his cycle and his legs the longest challenge yet - 910 miles from Lands End to John O'Groats.Last October,his friend Patrick Goodacre, who is only in his early twenties, was involved in a head-on collision with a car while on his bike in Richmond Park. Patrick was in a coma but is now making progress at the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability. Vince wanted to raise money for a local charity, and one which is helping his friend and many others feels the natural choice.
"The trip marks my own recovery from chronic fatigue syndrome, a condition I contracted in 1989. While the scale of the health problems I have had to overcome pales in comparison, I hope my comeback will offer Patrick encouragement in his own recovery."
