The Ring of Fire is back again and this year we are aiming higher than ever. What started as a small idea between a few people has grown into something truly special. It now brings together riders and supporters from Milton Keynes Rugby Club and far beyond. I am genuinely grateful to be part of it.

My part is simple. I get on my bike and ride. It is tough at times, but it is also incredibly rewarding. The support, the teamwork and the sense of shared purpose make every mile worth it. Seeing everyone pull each other through the days is something I look forward to every year.

Most importantly, we do this to raise money for three brilliant causes: Willen Hospice, 4ED and C.R.Y. These charities support families and individuals when they need it most. Over the last nine years, the events have raised more than £750,000. That is something to be proud of. This year, we want to go even further.

If you are able to donate, it would mean a lot. Every contribution makes a difference.

Thank you.
