Today millions of young people live challenging lives, together we can help create unforgettable moments in amazing places, on their first big adventure. With your support we can deliver experiences that have the power to change young people’s futures. Moments where young people believe in themselves for the first time, recognise their talents and develop the ambitions that will take them on a different path through life. For the millions of young people facing poverty, disability, long-term illness and other challenges, these moments are rare.

To support YHA I'm going to be riding the Highland Trail 550, a long distance self-supported mountain bike route through the Scottish Highlands. 550 miles long, 17,000m of climbing and 75% off road. My aim is to complete it in under 7 days

I may experience Scotland's beautiful sunny blue skies and cool mountain streams and lochs as far as you can see! But, the weather in Scotland can change on a whim, and I may be just as likely to find myself getting besieged by cold lashing rain and high winds. In short, preparation is key - as no one will be there to rescue me! I'll need to be fully ready for whatever nature has in store for me.

Your donations no matter how small do make a difference and will help spur me on in the more challenging moments of my adventure.

Thank you
