Team 50:50

As part of the birthday celebrations, a special  group of people, who are all turning 50 this year, together pedalled the 54 miles from London’s grassy Clapham Common, to the pebbles of Brighton seafront.  As a team they aimed to raise £1,000 each to help the BHF continue its life-saving work. Magic FM DJ, Neil Fox was Team 50:50's captain.

Congratulations to everyone who participated.
