VERY SAD NEWS INDEED (North West Blood Bikes, Lancs & Lakes) This is a message which I never dreamt I would be writing, but I have to tell you that on Friday morning 24th June, one of our most prolific Blood Bike rider’s, friend and genuine GOOD GUY, passed away, suddenly. MARCELL FALLOON (57) Alison, his wife, phoned me to tell me the sad news and I have to say I was shocked to the core, and it took time to sink in. Marcel was such a genuine extremely good hearted man and would do anything for anyone. I have passed on our sincere condolences to Alison and family and I will keep everyone informed of what is happening. R.I.P. Marcel, you will be sorely missed. You can stand down now mate, Duty Done.
