My Story
During my racing career I was fortunate to be sponsored by an awesome Guy called Peter Holland, he came from nowhere, turning up to our workshop on his BMW F800 to give me some sponsorship to keep my racing dreams going when I had completely run out of funds He rode all the way from Nottingham to us in Ellesmere Port and wanted nothing in return for his help he just wished me all the best, he would do this on a few occasions, turning up when he knew I was struggling and offering support at race meeting when he could. He was fantastic to me and I designed a small logo with his name to carry on my helmet and bike during the race seasons, although he wanted no publicity it was my personal thanks to him. A few years ago he developed cancer and sadly passed away despite putting up a good fight and continuing with his life and love of motorcycles, we were with him right to the end and his optimism in the face of an end of life situation and all that that entailed was incredible, he was still so pragmatic and lovely. We all know cancer is sh*#t, it sometimes takes people away from us, sometimes, however and more and more it doesn’t win, I’m hoping one day it never wins whether that’s by cure or prevention in the first place so I’m riding on a cheap (no more than £600) inappropriate motorcycle from Land’s End to John O'Groats in 24hrs on the longest day of the year to raise funds in aid of Cancer Research UK. Your support would be fantastic and very very much appreciated! Thank you in advance X In memory of Peter Holland a true gentleman. Jenny X
