Story
Thanks for clicking on this. I'm Andrew and I'm cycling from John O'Groats to Land's End in the first 2 weeks of September this year, with my trusty Genesis bike.
I'm cycling to raise money for 2 mental health charities: Man Down Cornwall and Cornwall Mind. The reason I've chosen them is that back in December I had a breakdown, things got very messy, and I had to call upon mental health charities for support.
Now I need your help. With your cash and my legs, we could raise these charities a big bag of money. These charities do great work and they need some help. I appreciate times are hard, but if you can spare something here, that would be fantastic!
I've chosen cycling because it's been a big part of my recovery and this is a trip I've always wanted to do. I plan to be self sufficient on my trip and camp my way down the GBDIVIDE.

2 years agoDo you ever wonder how your donations are spent? Cornwall Mind sent us this: "This money will help to support our Community Cafes across Cornwall this winter. It’s not always easy accessing mental health information or advice, that’s why Cornwall Mind have developed a Community Café service and have recently launched these sessions in several new areas of Cornwall. This amazing donation will support our 9, once a month, café sessions this winter. Our Community Café sessions are supported by a member of staff and a volunteer."
