Richard’s 500 Mile Bike Challenge in June – UPDATE
Props to our wonderful supporter Richard Cox who’s on course to smash his 500 mile bike ride target in June, all in aid of DT38. And so importantly, he’s been supported brilliantly and raised a whopping £1,451 for DT38 so far. Could you spare a few pounds to help him top £1,500? We hope the thighs are holding up okay Richard!

Perth SC v Stirling Macedonia FC – The Dylan Tombides Trophy 2025
The fate of the 2025 Dylan Tombides Trophy was decided in a tight affair at Dorrien Gardens when Perth SC met Stirling Macedonia FC on 27th June in the annual two-leg cup to raise awareness of DT38 and pay tribute to Dylan Tombides, who had connections with both clubs as a youngster. The Macies retained the trophy after a 3-3 draw on the night and a 2-2 result in the first leg on 29th March, 2025.

DT38 Picture of the Month
Serial supporter of DT38 Gareth Vidler, who is an Ambassador of our charity, ran the Heathfield 10k on 15th June, whilst flying the flag for us. Gareth regularly takes part in organised races and he ALWAYS dons his DT38 t-shirt to ensure our name is seen. He also fundraises for us and we’re SO grateful for that.
Congrats on completing yet another race sir, and thank you for your continued support.
