So far this cyclo cross season we have funded the following riders:
Cameron Mason
Callum McCleod
Jenson Young
Sophie Thackray
Millie Couzens
Tom Couzens
Katie Scott
They are all proving to be brilliant ambassadors for Charlie and he would be very proud of you all.
We always ask the young riders to ride in the spirit of Charlie race to your best, play fair and most of all smile what ever the result.
Many thanks to all those that have written and those that support Charlies fund.
Ride for today with love and laughter.
We have decided that funding will CLOSE for applications for December as from today.
Many thanks to all those that have written and those that support charlies fund.
We also have continued supporting c-r-y and have so far raised nearly £30,000.00 for screening in the future.
Many thanks to you all. Sending lots of Charlie love as we continue to support what Charlie loved. ... See MoreSee Less
Fantastic well done 👍👍
Thank you for the support. It means a huge amount and it wouldn’t be possible to do what we’re all doing without the help you’ve provided so thank you. #rideforcharlie x
You've raised another £550.10 for CRY as I haven't yet emailed across or submitted any confirmed details, until our choirs treasurer confirmed the amount today, but this was from DMRC selling safety pins (well asking for donations) at Markeaton just before Christmas, a concert that my choir organised and selling bands. Also, from selling cakes, we have £150 to donate direct to the Ride for Charlie foundation, so please PM me address and cheque/bank details to get this to you. Huge thanks to DMRC helping support my son and I, fundraising for two amazing causes.
What a legacy!
Love, Love, Love this post ❤
That’s amazing!
Your amazing 🤩 my husband attended one of these screening events the other week and thanks to people like you that have had to endure the greatest pain to be able to stop this happening to others. I am in total awe of you xxx

Charlie was a special boy who went to sleep on Friday the 20 January and didn’t wake up, he was 15. He left his family and friends in a state of shock and an incredible hole in our hearts. We miss him more every day.
Our aim is to support young off road cyclists,who are or would have been inspired by Charlie to follow in his pedal strokes. Our vision is to allocate funding to self motivated young individuals, who will be appraised for eligibility by the trustees.
We want to hear from young boys and girls age 14 and above who ride off- road bikes and have been inspired by stories of Charlie and his life.
