Sam Rivers death has really hit me.
He was one of my inspirations for first picking up a bass guitar.

We did it! We successfully completed 54km around half of the Isle of Wight. Our feet are sore but I’m so proud of the whole team for raising over £27,000 for Missing People. Such an incredible effort!
Thank you so much to everyone who sponsored us, it really does mean a lot.
