A cyclist helps raise thousands of pounds in memory of his late colleague.
A cyclist helped raise thousands in memory of a “genuinely lovely” dad by commuting to work on a tandem – picking up a different colleague each day.
Last October his colleague Joe Brightman, an employee with the Colchester branch’s property litigation team, died five months after being diagnosed with a brain tumour.Mr Seeley, 51, commuted to his Arcade Street office on a tandem, and picked up Jodie Cobb, Cerys Gunn, Nicola Weldon, Lesley Lewis and Nick Bowen over the course of five days.
“I dusted off my tandem after quite a few years of it sitting around doing nothing and then did just over 70 miles in five days.“Most of the people I picked up were not far off my ordinary route into work which was lucky – but I would have gone further if I needed to. He added: “Joe was given a terminal diagnosis after suddenly collapsing – it is a very nasty cancer to get and not many people survive it for long.
