The bad weather sweeping parts of the country has claimed another victim, in the form of ICU President John Collins. Just six miles away from his starting point at Land's End, Mr Collins came off his bike and ended up in hospital. He is believed to have broken his arm in two places and badly bruised his ego. Reports suggest he is otherwise OK, having been rather concerned at what Live! would have to say on the matter, presumably worried we would satirise the event.
As a result of his accident Collins will be unable to complete the bike ride at present, however Live! would encourage all of you who have been laughing at his misfortune to donate online.
Mr Collins was undertaking the bike ride to raise money for the Beit Masterplan, with Sir Richard Sykes donating £1,000 and students raising another £700. Help was nearby as he was being followed by a support car - no Union minibuses driven by bitter hacks were believed to be in the area at the time.
We wish John a speedy recovery and once again ask you to donate online. He won't be as smug when he comes back, so it's money well spent.
