A seven-year-old boy from Penge could make history this summer if he can cycle the length of Britain.

Joshua Moisey, seven, will join his brother Reuben, 10, and dad Alvin on the 900 mile journey to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society.

If Joshua completes the Land's End to John o' Groats cycle – he will become the youngest person to ever do it.

Along the way the musical family will host charity recital concerts.

The three pianists will perform at Penge Congregational Church on June 17, followed by concerts in Bristol on July 10 and Lancaster on July 19.

Alvin Moisey said: “We decided to take on this challenge for Alzheimer’s Society in memory of the boys’ grandmother Yvonne, who lived with dementia during the last ten years of her life.

“It will be hugely demanding, but at the same time a tremendous experience for the children, both of whom are enthusiastic cyclists and pianists. We all witnessed my mother’s gradual and heartbreaking decline, and are only too familiar with the many difficulties faced by both sufferers and their families.

“We hope that by raising funds for the charity, vital services and key advice can be provided to support people with dementia, their families and carers.”

Jeremy Hughes, chief executive at Alzheimer’s Society, said he was “extremely grateful” for the efforts of the Moisey family.

He added: “Dementia is the biggest health and social care challenge we currently face. It affects over 850,000 people in the UK and can have a devastating impact on everyone affected by it. It is vital that we continue to do all we can to support people with dementia, their families and carers.

“Funds like those raised by the Moisey family are crucial in ensuring that Alzheimer's Society can continue to provide information, advice and support for people affected by dementia – from our community Dementia Cafes to our as well as a range of information including our National Dementia Helpline.”
