On 14 May, a couple from Kings Lynn will be taking on the Dambusters Ride, a fundraiser organised by the RAF Benevolent Fund. Debbie Northam will complete the ride alongside her husband, Flight Lieutenant Mike Northam, who has been the RAF for 37 years.
Debbie said: “The RAF Benevolent Fund is a fantastic organisation and helps lots of families, but it can get overlooked for some of the bigger charities, so we were keen to do our bit to support the Fund’s work. Mike and I aren’t particularly keen cyclists - we enjoy a casual bike ride when the weather is good, but 100 miles will be a real challenge for both of us. I’m looking forward to being part of a great day out and meeting new, like-minded people – and reaching the finish line!”
The Dambusters Ride consists of two elements: a Virtual Ride on 7-8 May and a Heritage Ride taking place in Lincolnshire on Saturday 14 May.
