This September, a group of enthusiastic cyclists will be taking on a huge challenge - to cycle 400-miles from London to Edinburgh and raise money for the development of two new Crisis Skylight Centres.

Matt Downie, Chief Executive of Crisis, will be taking part, and has shared his motivations for taking on this epic challenge below:

"Being homeless is more than a lack of physical shelter; its the lack of affordable, safe and secure accommodation. Its just not right that in our society, people are still forced to go through the trauma of not having somewhere safe to live. I am hugely proud to lead Crisis, working every day with amazing colleagues, supporters and partners who are as dedicated as I am to ending homelessness."
