Sue and I are so saddened to hear this news. We did the Portland/Lulworth run last year and Mike was really great at looking after all of us in the sibs, not leaving us behind and making sure everyone was safe.
Very sad.

Pete & Sue Branson.

Only found out today that Mike sadly passed away my condolences to his family.
Mike had booked a Intermediate Course with me his son is now taking his place .
I have a space on this course 8th and 9th of April if someone would like to donate to rib 4 Macmillan for that space a cause Mike supported I think it would be a nice gesture.

Thanks for the phone call today Tim.

Myself and Oli will be on the course 8th/9th, that is a very generous offer of you to 'auction' (dunno whether that is the correct word?) off a place.


Hopefully Whisper will be along soon with a suggestion or two.?

I've only just heard this news and can't believe it.
What an amazing guy he was.

Thoughts are with his family.

The Team Scooby gang have their own facebook group:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/570906672977411/

They are doing lots of things to raise money for Macmillan as this was what Mike was really passionate about

The page is run by Bingosucks, and already the money has been pouring into our RIOW 2014 JustGiving account.

Respect for Team Scooby
