NVA Cycle Ride

On Saturday, 3rd May, two local men, Robert Elderton and Toby Morris started from the Bakers Arms, Bugbrooke and rode their bicycles to Nelson's Column, London to raise money for a Charity called The National Victims Association (formerly called NEVA).  This organisation was founded originally in the North of England but unfortunately, owing to the increasing number of victims of homicide, now has members from every corner of the UK.
The organisation receives no government funding (although there is always money for the offenders) and is totally reliant on fund raisers in order to carry on its extremely worthwhile work.
As most people in Bugbrooke will be aware, our daughter, Claire and her two children Keiren and Jade were murdered in 2000 and without the support and friendship given by this Organisation, I doubt that we would have survived.
Robert was Keiren and Jade's uncle and recognised the need for support of NVA and along with his friend Toby, came up with the idea of the bike ride.
We would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to Robert and Toby and also to all who donated to NVA.  The total amount has not yet been finalised but it is hoped to exceed £500.
Carol and Harry Quinn
