John Ibbotson Fund

The John Ibbotson Fund was set up in 2005 in memory of John Ibbotson with the aim of helping talented young cyclists to follow their dreams and race in Europe.

John, or Ibbo to all who knew him, died of arythmagenic right ventricular dysplasia in August 2005, he was just 27. Ibbo was a former professional cyclist who subsequently became a successful cycling coach. His death was a huge shock to the cycling community and lead the fund to try and raise awareness of sudden cardiac death in the young; something that affects more people than many of us realise.

The fund is linked with charity CRY - Cardiac Rick in the Young who support families and friends who have been affected by heart conditions.
