Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I am training hard for this year's challenge: riding C2C with 30 or so other supporters of our local YMCA. We start on 26 June with our back wheels in the Irish Sea at Whitehaven and finish on 28 June with our front wheels dipped into the North Sea at Newcastle. We have 140 miles to cover, taking us over the Lake District and Pennines, so we should come across one or two hills - just to keep us interested! And the reason that we are putting ourselves through this is to raise money for the YMCA, principally their Heads Together project. This provides a free and confidential counselling service for local young people in crisis. In the light of recent stories in the national news, this is a vital facility. Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Reigate & Redhill YMCA gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation. Your money will give troubled youngsters in our community refuge and support, so please sponsor me now!
