cleanbikes Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 For everyone who attended the Easter Bunny Hop and met young Ben Carlile, I thought you'd like to know that he's just started going back to school - just three afternoons a week for a couple of hours. Not a lot - but a brilliant start!Watch out for the write-up about the event in MBUK (June issue) - Ben's thrilled to be mentioned!Funds are still coming in but it's looking like we raised around £3,000 from the event for the candlelighters charity.Well done to everyone who contributed! (For those who couldn't go to the event ... 9 year old TykeTrial member Ben is suffering from a rare form of spinal cancer, he had a 9 hour operation to remove most of the tumour, and has been undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy since November.)
