WHY HOPE:
HOPE is an amazing charity which does just what its name says: it gives hope to animals who, through no fault of their own, find themselves unloved and
uncared for. All too
often this can be due to mistreatment. Animals give us unconditional love and
affection and are a source of great comfort and joy. I would not be
without my girls, and the HOPE Facebook page often reduces me to tears, reading about what some of these loyal and loving animals go through.
Raising money for Hope is
one way I can help. It offers them what they most
need, loving care, which costs nothing, and desperately needed
treatment which can cost much more.

WHY AM I DOING THIS YOU MIGHT ASK - WELL HERE IS THE ANSWER
This is a once in a lifetime venture, one of those bucket list things I guess. I have been cycling for just under 2 years and thoroughly enjoy my time on the bike although it does take me away from Isis and Frankie my beautiful black Labs. So after a 100 mile bike ride they then get their turn and we go for their favourite leisurely walk alongside the river in Brecon. The poor family rarely get a look in.
I have funded the ride myself and so every penny you contribute will go to HOPE.
