Frankie’s 100-Mile Bike Ride: Turning Loss Into Hope for Dorset Mind

A local family is turning heartbreak into something hopeful after the sudden loss of a much-loved Dad and Grandad.

In loving memory of Grandad

Frankie is just 10 years old, but he’s chosen a powerful way to honour his Grandad’s memory. Throughout March, Frankie has been riding his bike to remember and celebrate his Grandad’s life — with his dad riding alongside him.

Frankie originally aimed to raise £500, but he’s absolutely smashed that target. With one week still to go, he’s already raised more than £3,000.

100+ miles for Dorset Mind

Frankie has now ridden over 100 miles for Dorset Mind, raising money and awareness for mental health — and showing what a huge heart a 10-year-old can have.

His family shared that Frankie has worked incredibly hard to support such an important cause, and to help raise awareness for other people’s mental health after losing his Grandad last month.

Final lap: Bournemouth BMX track (29 March)

Frankie will be doing his final lap at Bournemouth BMX track on 29 March, and he’d be absolutely over the moon if the community could help spread the word and support him.
