Lawyer’s charity cycle ride in memory of admired newsreader brother
One of Worcestershire’s most respected solicitors is set to take part in a 90-mile charity cycle in memory of his brother and to raise money for three national charities.
Iain Morrison, vice-chairman and Head of the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Department at law firm mfg Solicitors, is riding from Malvern to Cheddar on 25 August as part of a John O’Groats to Land’s End bike ride which is partly in memory of Iain’s brother, Radio 4 newsreader Rory Morrison, who died of a rare form of blood cancer in 2013.
Ride for Alex and Rory is made up of 13 riders and has been organised by Rory’s brother in law Peter Jenkins and Rory’s widow Nikki. In addition, Charlie Baigler is attempting the entire 1000-mile ride in just six days in memory of his wife Alex who died in 2017 of a brain tumour, age 43. Alex was the cousin of Peter and Nikki.
