The PACE Centre is a charity founded in Buckinghamshire, UK in 1990 as a partnership between parents and professionals. It provides intensive learning programmes, tailored to the individual needs of children, aged 6 months to 12 years, with motor impairments such as cerebral palsy. The work of the centre is inspired by the principles of Conductive Education devised in Hungary by the late Dr. Andras Peto. In keeping with the philosophy of Dr. Peto, programmes are designed to encourage children to be actively involved in their own learning. These programmes focus on the integrated development of each child's social, emotional, communication, academic and motor skills.

Chris talks Raising a significant amount of money once is hard, doing it again the next year is harder, which is one of the reasons why I had no intention of repeating the ride. As one Mrs Ripcor suggested though, that is a pathetic excuse which I'd have trouble justifying to the children, or the parents of the children, at the PACE centre, let alone to myself. We all had a great time, of that there is no doubt, but what made it so enjoyable was the collective sense of achievement - without the charity, what's the point? Bring it on!
