Healthcare Professionals ‘Ride for Ella’ on International Clean Air Day

Ride For Their Lives are a grassroots collective of healthcare workers who cycle to galvanise action on the air quality crisis. Ride For Their Lives travelled to Lewisham where Ella Roberta Adoo-Kissi-Debrah lived and tragically died from air pollution. The ride began and ended in Mountsfield Park close to Ella’s home. A statue of Ella is currently under development and will reside in the Park to mark her inspiring life. Cyclists travelled through the local community, past Ella’s old primary school and the mural of Ella’s mother Rosamund, who has spent the last decade campaigning, first to prove that air pollution was the cause of her daughter’s death and secondly, to try and raise awareness in order to prevent it from happening to other children. Riders also cycled past Lewisham Hospital where Ella sadly spent so much of her last few years before her tragic death there on 13th February 2013. #RideForElla #CleanAirDay Invest in #CleanAirNow
