FRIENDS of murdered Taunton teenager Lloyd Fouracre are taking to two wheels later this year to honour his memory and raise money for charity.

Adam Cunningham and Charlotte Boobyer are planning a tandem cycle ride from John O'Groats to Lands End in May to continue to highlight the County Gazette-backed Campaign for Lloyd, which called for safer streets and more police patrols.

And the pair are also hoping to raise hundreds of pounds for the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance in the process.

Adam said: "Charlotte and I are attempting to cycle the famous end to end' John O'Groats to Lands End on a tandem - something that would have Lloyd smiling.

"Lloyd and l grew up and progressed together through 41F Air Training Corps.

"We were the best of friends and achieved so much together.

"I have come to terms with his death by continuing the things we enjoyed, and the things that meant the most to him."

Adam and Charlotte will be out in Taunton town centre with their bike on Saturday collecting sponsorship for the ride.

They are also holding a quiz at the Blackbrook Tavern, on April 26.

Adam said: "We will not be able to make the streets safer, or provide more police for patrols and we will not be able to bring Lloyd back but hopefully we will raise lots of money for this worthy cause.

"Not only will this be a perfect way to remember the great friend we once had, it will also be for a very beneficial cause that is severely under funded."

Anyone wanting to support Adam and Charlotte on their ride can make donations through their website www.justgiving.com/end2end4lloyd or alternatively they can be contacted at sqjlcunningham@hotmail.com or by calling 07984-003684.
