On 9 March 2025, I rode the 109 km Cape Town Cycle Tour in memory of my dear friend and colleague, Dave Conway.

I first met Dave back in the late 1980s when we worked together at Gatwick Airport for Air Europe — I was his supervisor at the time. We later both moved across to Heathrow, and it was there that Dave met his lovely wife Andrea, who (in a remarkable twist of fate) I now have the privilege of working with again today.

Taking on the Tour was both a physical and emotional challenge, but every mile was for Dave. With the generosity of friends, family, and colleagues, we raised £1,628.48 for CRY. These funds will help reduce the number of young sudden cardiac deaths and support families facing such tragic loss.

Crossing the finish line in Cape Town was a moment of pride and reflection — this wasn’t just a race, but a ride for Dave, for Andrea, and for the important work CRY continues to do.

Thank you to everyone who supported me.
