"I cycle to Formula Ones to help me combat my multiple sclerosis"

Rich Tindale, a design manager from Staffordshire and F1 fan, organises charity rides to F1 Grand Prix circuits

"In 2007, aged 28, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), prompting me to embrace cycling to help me maintain my fitness and strength. I rode London to Paris with my friend Si and we raised over £5,000 for the MS Trust. The experience ignited a passion for charitable rides.

In 2012, a vision-affecting relapse coincided with Si's son, Jasper, being diagnosed with leukaemia. Inspired to support Jasper, I organized a charity ride from Silverstone to Spa in Belgium. With Si and 25 others, we cycled 400 miles over 4 days, raising £23,081 for five causes.
