Hi and thanks for visiting my fundraising page!

In just over a week on Sunday 9th July I will be cycling from Manchester to Liverpool for an incredible charity called The Focus Foundation, who help transform the lives of adults with physical and learning disabilities and those on the autistic spectrum.

Many people who suffer such disabilities also suffer with extreme mental health challenges and struggle to live what we would consider a normal, independent and societally integrated life. 

Focus help so many people in this situation by:

- Providing decent, good quality and affordable homes with assisted and supported living.

- Supporting across all aspects of life, from mental health therapy to learning and development opportunities to help them fulfill their full potential.

- And something that is so often overlooked, Focus provide a fulfilling social life.

While I consider myself an alright runner, I've not gone on my bike for a long time, so this ride is going to be challenging, both on the day and for a few days after! 

I need to raise a minimum of £500, so if you are able to donate any amount, no matter how small, will be hugely appreciated and will really go a long way to enabling Focus to continue their great work.

About Focus Foundation Manchester to Liverpool Bike Ride

The Focus Foundation is an innovative supported living Jewish charity which meets the needs of adults with learning disabilities, people on the autistic spectrum and people with physical disabilities.  We are focused on the needs of Greater Manchester and the North, reaching out to all parts of the Jewish community. Our Lev Simcha project meets the distinct needs of the more orthodox community.

After only 15 months in existence, we are offering a holistic service to 34 people and their families.  We strive to ensure our members have access to a full range of support including quality housing,  domestic skills, employment opportunities, social activities, and full participation in Shabbat & Jewish festivals.

On Sunday 09th July, we are cycling from Manchester to Liverpool (approximately 40 miles) in the beautiful English countryside, ending in Liverpool with a delicious BBQ for all our riders.

You don’t need to be a serious rider, super fit and have done anything like this before.  All we ask is that you are keen to take on a little challenge, raise a minimum donations of £500 and enable The Focus Foundation to continue with heir valuable work within the community.  Once registered, you will receive fundraising and training packs to help you prepare for the day.
