Paul Fretwell, a personal injury partner, said: ‘The work done by Headway West Sussex is incredibly important in offering support to head injury victims, their families, and their carers.

‘The ride itself was dogged by some pretty unpleasant weather, including torrential rain at one stage.

‘But everyone was determined to complete the course and a strong sense of purpose and enthusiasm kept us all going – despite the challenging conditions.’

Claire Watson, head of personal injury at George Ide and a HWS trustee, said: ‘This local charity makes a real difference to the lives of many brain injury sufferers and I am delighted that we are able to make a significant contribution to its valuable work.
