THE father of a teenager killed in a skiing accident is once again tackling a gruelling cycling challenge in his memory.

Canford School student Louis Ross was just 17 when a tragic accident claimed his life during a holiday with a friend's family in Meribel in France.

A foundation was set up in his memory the following a year and tens of thousands of pounds have already been handed over to help young people in need.

Now his dad, John, is taking on the challenge of the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 on Saturday August 3 to raise even more.

He has already smashed his target of £500 with more than £2,000 already pledged in his JustGiving page.
