Sooperdooper   10 #1 Posted June 25, 2014 I am sure many if you will remember my husband Eric Codling being killed by a drunk driver on the 3rd November 2013 in whirlowdale road. The person responsible is due to be sentenced on the 17th July.  It was suggested that a memorial bike ride be organised in Eric's memory and with help from very good friends I am proud to announced the very first RideforEric.  There are 3 courses 6k, 16k and 50k taking place on 21st September.  All funds raised are for cavendish cancer care who have been there for me and my family in the past.  You can sign up now on the website rideforeric.com  Hope to see lots of you there  Karen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Mr Bloom   10 #4 Posted June 25, 2014 I was only thinking of the terrible tragedy that befell your husband yesterday, whilst driving in the area. God bless you and your family. What a marvellous thing to do in Eric's name. It's a great website too.  http://www.rideforeric.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
