Celebrating the Life of Baz

Baz was a keen cyclist who inspired everyone with his astonishing feats of endurance

such as his recent 900 miles in 5 days London-Edinburgh-London ride, Newcastle to

London ride where he came first out of 400 riders or competing last year in the

Amateur World Championships as part of Team GB in Perth Australia. As soon as he

finished one ride he was already looking for his next challenge.

On the 27th August 2017, Barry was competing once again as part of Team GB in the

Gran Fondo race which is part of the UCI Amateur Cycling World Championships in

Albi, France when he suffered from severe heat exhaustion and was rushed to

hospital. After a week in hospital, he sadly passed away on 4th September 2017 with

his loved ones by his side.

Everyone who knew Barry was proud of how much he had achieved in his 36 years and

the difference he made in the world by raising significant amounts of money for

various charities. So in his honour and through his love of cycling, we would like to

support a local cycling charity Wheels for Wellbeing based in Brixton. Wheels for

Wellbeing aims to enhance disabled people’s lives by ensuring that anyone can access

the physical, emotional, practical and social benefits of cycling.

You can show your support by donating whatever you can afford to this great cause.

Every penny raised will help more disabled people discover the joy of cycling. Thanks

for your support, we really appreciate your generosity.
