“I’m proud to be recognised for my part in the London to Brighton Cycle, raising funds for the charity's Time For A Change Appeal. What began in 2019 with a small group has grown into a large team of cyclists of all abilities. We’ve raised thousands, including enough to purchase equipment that helps reduce paediatric intensive care admissions—supporting a better hospital for the future."

- Richard Chavasse, 2025 cyclist
