ON behalf of the Stroke Association, I would like to thank all your readers who took part in, or supported, last month's Thames Bridges Bike Ride.

More than 1,150 cyclists took part in the ride and are expected to have raised more than £70,000 for all those affected by the devastating effects of stroke, the country's biggest single cause of death and disability.
