Last Saturday, Pippa Russell (Nugent 08), Bill Warburg (Chatham 71) and Xandie Trevor (Cobham 09) cycled 105 miles, from London to Aldeburgh, in Suffolk. They were with a group of 16 people raising money in memory of their friend, Boo, who suffered from depression and committed suicide last year, aged only 23. The ride took 12 hours including stops.
 
Pippa said, “We cycled under the banner 'Depression must not be a taBOO!' And have raised over £15,000 for the Charlie Waller Memorial Trust.  At the end of the cycle we realised there were 3 Old Stoics taking on this challenge!”
 
We done to all those who took part, raising money and awareness for an excellent cause.
