You are probably aware that in January 2006 a young lawyer named Tom ap Rhys Pryce (B1 1988-93) was robbed and stabbed to death in Kensal Green, London. Tom was my cousin.

In the wake of this tragedy a charity was set up to act as a lasting memorial to Tom and ensure that his death was not in vain. Tom’s Trust provides educational and vocational training opportunities for disadvantaged children and young adults who might not otherwise have access to them, and to help tackle and prevent the root causes of violent gang culture and violent street crime. You can find out more about the trust at www.tomaprhyspryce.com 

I want to make my contribution to Tom’s Trust and am doing a sponsored solo totally unsupported bike ride from John O’Groats to Lands End. If other OMs would like to find out more about my ride, or indeed sponsor me, they can go to my web page at www.justgiving.com/gilesvallis

Alternatively, if they would prefer to donate ‘offline’ I attach some sponsorship forms which you can print off and fill in.

Many thanks for any assistance you can give.

Regards,

Giles Vallis (B1 1976-81)
