FORMER BUSINESS LEADER TO 'CYCLE HIS AGE' FOR CHARITY
A FORMER Hull business leader is set to cycle his age to celebrate his 70th birthday and raise vital funds for charity.
John Holmes is poised to embark on the ultimate endurance test for his big birthday, by cycling 70 miles to raise vital funds for Alzheimer's Research UK, a cause close to his heart.
The former chief executive at regeneration agency Hull Forward and former governor of Hull College Group was also chief executive of Hull Citybuild at a time which saw the organisation lead the delivery of major city developments and regeneration projects.
Now semi retired and living in Northumberland, he has set out a path to raise money for Alzheimer's Research UK following a close friend's diagnosis with the cruel disease.
