Firstly I would like to thank you for visiting my page, as it means you are only a few clicks away from donating.
In 2010, after not having ridden a bicycle for 30 years, as I was somehow bullied into riding 123 miles on a road bike from Sutton Coldfield to Great Ormond street; swearing that I wouldn't do it again.
Somehow, 13 years on (still hating cycling), I have been persuaded that it would be a great idea to fly 12 hours and then cycle 170km on gravel roads, over 3 days in Argentina and Uruguay, in 35 degree weather to raise money for 3 UK charities.
I have started training for this by riding an exercise bike in the garage in the middle of a UK winter, so what could possibly go wrong......................
It won't be easy or comfortable however I will be raising much needed money for the charities.
All monies raised will be split equally between these charities
Teenage Cancer Trust's mission is to raise funds, educate, and support teenagers fighting cancer.
Childline is here to help anyone under 19 in the UK with any issue they’re going through. Whether it’s something big or small, trained counsellors are here to support them. Childline is free, confidential and available any time, day or night.
Nordoff Robbins is the largest independent music therapy charity in the UK and is dedicated to changing the lives of vulnerable and isolated people by working in partnership with a wide range of organisations including care homes, schools and hospitals.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and hopefully donating.
Cheers
Wayne
