We are supporting the Professional Cricketers’ Trust because it is a valuable and potentially life-saving resource for fellow professional cricketers past and present. The Trust assists players and their families during some of their darkest days and provides resources to help those affected to find hope for the future.

The Professional Cricketers' Trust was created to support the lifelong health and wellbeing of Professional Cricketers' Trust members and their immediate families. The players' charity looks out for players throughout their active careers and long afterwards, funding life changing medical assistance, crisis helplines and educational programmes in England and Wales.

As well as supporting the PCT, we also wanted to get behind Dravet Syndrome UK (DSUK) in the memory of Florence Dunn. Florence - daughter of our team-mate Matt Dunn - passed away in March this year after bravely living with the condition for over a year.

Dravet Syndrome UK are a charity dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by Dravet Syndrome through support, education and medical research. The charity supported Florence, and the Dunn family, throughout her life with the condition.

The first £3,200 we raise will go to the PCT. After this, every pound raised will be donated to the DSUK charity.

As for the challenge… it seems daunting given our collective cycling experience extends only to having ridden a Mongoose BMX to high school for a few years and Lime bikes to and from training at The Kia Oval. Hopefully there will be many other past and present cricketers able to share their stories as to why the Trust is important for them as well.

Any help you are able and willing to provide is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
