December 2022. Have now raised, including grants awarded by Church Care, The John Pilling Trust and The Garfield Weston Trust, all your donations and people who have given at the Gosforth Show and a Craft Fair at Santon Bridge, over £30,000. Thanks to all. Recent fundraiser with the fabulous Rooster Band, has raised a further £600. An event is already planned for February 2023 at St Paul’s. Hope to see as many there as possible. A winter warmer with a mix of music on offer along with mulled wine.

Finally arrived back at Irton St Paul’s 253 churches and over 3800 miles later. Only seems like yesterday that I set out on a wet day from Chacewater near Truro. I have met some amazing people and ridden through some jewels of the English countryside. Thanks for all your supportive comments and donations. If you haven’t sponsored me already and like to do so, the Just Giving site is still active.

Now just two days and six St Paul’s to go. Have now covered over 3700 miles and met some amazing people and also seen how varied and wonderful our countryside is especially from a slow moving bike! I’ve visited 247 churches and been fortunate to play the organ in six of them. So far through your generosity I’ve raised over £3000 . THANKS.
