Retired firefighter Stephen Aslin will embark on a 30,000-mile solo bike ride around the world, starting on the eighth anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire. The journey aims to raise money for youth initiatives supported by the Grenfell Foundation, which aids those affected by the tragedy that claimed 72 lives. Aslin, who served as a station officer in North Kensington, highlights the profound impact of the incident on his community and seeks to raise awareness about ongoing justice issues related to the fire. He plans to reach New York by the 25th anniversary of 9/11.
"This challenge is a remembrance for Ernie [Vital] and his mum [Marjorie Vital] and the other 70 people that died in the fire."
"I want to be able to help the next generation, but it's not just about raising money but also raising awareness about the lack of justice."
