Story

In 2020, we would have experienced the 107th edition of the Tour De France, a number that not only has a great significance to me personally but also to many families and friends associated with The Pace Centre.

The Pace Centre is a school dedicated to transforming the lives of children up to the age of 18 with motor disorders such as cerebral palsy. Completely self-funded, it's founded on the firm belief that every child has the ability to learn and make progress, whatever physical or sensory challenges they face.

Each of the 107 children that attend the school face their own monumental daily struggle. Every element of their day requires complex planning. Not only by the teachers - who create tailored programmes to fit each of the kids' needs - but also by their families just to get them to and from the school each day.

These kids are the inspiration for the challenges I take on. I know I'm bound to face a few struggles throughout this project. But, then again, we all struggle.

Starting on the 29th August, I plan to ride from London, to Land’s End, to John o' Groats, then the long way back to London, covering a minimum of 107 miles during the course of the 2020 rescheduled Tour De France.

There will be some rest days, tackling on this challenge is no easy feat and from experience the body need a few opportunities to recover but, I’ll be carrying all I need on me whilst I cross the length of the UK.

If I pass near where you are, by all means feel free to join me for some miles. It would be great to have the company.

Your support today will help to transform the lives of children with sensory motor disorders. You will help unlock the potential of children with conditions such as cerebral palsy by helping to provide intensive specialist education and therapy individually tailored to each child. You will be giving the children the skills they need to become independent, opening up a world of communication, mobility, learning and achievement.Become part of our community, empower disabled children and their families to be the best that they can be. Thankyou
