Canine Partners

Bob Hughes, from Burgess Hill, West Sussex, is set to take on a 500 mile bike ride in the Republic of Ireland to raise money for Canine Partners.

Bob is currently preparing to take on the incredible cycling challenge from Mizen Head, County Cork, to Malin Head, County Donegal, in May 2019.

“My wife and I have a dear friend who has applied for one of your assistance dogs and we just found out that she has been matched with one of their dogs,” says Bob, a retired 71-year-old.

“In 2017 I completed the Lands End to John O’Groats bike ride as a way to challenge myself, however it seemed silly not to raise money for charity so this time I have chosen a charity close to my heart – Canine Partners.”

“I have no particular time I want to do the bike ride in and no personal best in mind, but I hope to raise at least £500,” says Bob.

“I wanted to take this on firstly to push myself before I get too old, but raising money for charity also makes it worthwhile.”
