Linden Andrew
raises £730
on sponsored cycle 'ride'
for Trust Fund |
||
Tristan Association member Linden Andrew from Clevedon, North Somerset, raised £730 in her 2013 sponsored cycle initiative achieved by 'riding' 100 miles on her home-based exercise bike. Linden is 69 and has health problems which would prevent her from doing a continuous road cycle ride, so her achievement is all the more brilliant. |
Linden has taken an interest in Tristan da Cunha since hearing of the 1961 evacuation and realised her dream of going there when she visited aboard RMS St Helena in 2001 (her photo left shows Linden ascending the RMS' rope ladder on returning to the ship) Linden loved visiting Tristan and said: 'I was, and still am, very much in awe of people who are so self-sufficient and have so many talents and abilities which I don’t have at all.' |
