In the run up to International Women’s Day, myself and four teammates are cycling 500 miles in a week to raise money for Smart Works Newcastle.

There are many women out there who, no matter how hard they try and how much they want it, can never catch a break. They deserve that opportunity and a chance to break the negative cycle which is where Smart Works come in. They offer interview coaching and work appropriate clothing to women across the North East, giving them self-confidence and that helping hand back in to employment.

Life can be tough and we don’t live in an equal world (yet...) so I’m asking for anything that you can spare to go towards helping women who are in a tough spot right now.

I’ll also post photos of my journey through my 100 miles and seeing as I haven’t done any exercise since 2014, I’m sure it will be a joy to behold for you all.

Cheers kids!
