We thank everyone who came to share the excitement with us but we obviously acknowledge and must say happy birthday to Rosie BoultDarren BoultPeter Boult whom if it wasn’t for your birth this tradition wouldn’t have started and been ongoing for the 24 years (how old are you 😂) - additional Abbie Saunders also now gets to celebrate her birthday in a field

Mark Durk is taking on his first Nello ride this year, cycling 60 miles to support FORCE Cancer Charity.

After being diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2019, Mark benefited from our health and wellbeing support, both before and after surgery. Now in remission, he wants to help ensure others affected by cancer can access the same free practical and emotional support.

A retired Forestry Commission worker who enjoys walking, gardening, photography and leisurely bike rides, Mark admits the Nello is further than he would usually cycle. But he’s embracing the challenge, proving that you don’t have to be a seasoned cyclist to take part and make a difference.

“FORCE and others have a key role to play in keeping us all sane, with some sense of control and meeting our emotional needs while the NHS does the clinical stuff,” says Mark.

Good luck Mark! You can support The Nello fundraising here: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/nello2026
