On the 6th of October, I am going to be cycling 100 miles from Palace to Palace in aid of The Princes Trust - a youth charity that supports vulnerable 11-30 year old people into education, training and employment.

The Trust helps young people overcome enormous difficulties and transform their lives. Having worked as a teacher in an area of acute socio-economic deprivation and seen first hand the benefits of the work the Princes Trust carries out, I wanted to help contribute in whatever small way I can.

I would be really grateful for any donation in order to reach my fundraising target.

Thank you. Mark
