A former professional footballer and businessman, Ian is embarking on a remarkable journey to make a significant impact.

As a proud supporter and partner, Wattbike is thrilled to share Ian's story, highlighting his commitment, the challenge ahead, and how you can be part of this incredible adventure.
A Commitment to Change
Ian's goal is not just to complete the tour but to contribute significantly to the cause. He has pledged to raise a minimum of £30,000 towards the event's £1 million target. This commitment speaks volumes about his dedication to making a difference. Through his Just Giving page, Ian is inviting us all to be part of this journey, offering a unique opportunity to contribute to a cause that transcends the sport itself.
The Cause and the Course
