Biker in real need of help
I first met Derek Boocock in Sidi Ifni, in southern Morocco. We hung about together for several days and eventually Derek confided that he has terminal cancer.
His wife had died of cancer some years before and Derek decided he would rather do something with the time he has left, so he’s riding round the world the hard way, on a push bike.
Unfortunately he’s had a head-on collision with a 4x4 in Tajikistan and had to spend several days in hospital. He’s recuperating but his bike and luggage is a write-off.
Derek sold everything he had in the UK to fund this trip and without our help he won’t get any further. I know it's been a digging deep month what with the Philippines, Poppies and Children in Need, but I’d be really grateful if you could check out the links below and consider clicking on the ‘donate’ button on the second link.

And thanks to a few who've already contributed through the previous post.
