I'm planning to cycle 220 miles in 3 days (hopefully) along King Alfred's Way in aid of the Youth Adventure Trust.  This is a new off road route taking in 4539m of climbing, 4 National long distance trails and 5 counties.  Although I already cycle a lot this will be a big challenge as my longest ride to date is 67 miles (on a nice sunny day), not sure I will be so lucky this time!

With colleagues from Amer Sports, we'll be aiming to cover 8,880 miles (the distance between ours and our brand's offices) in 2 weeks, striving to raise £13,000 to make a direct impact on the lives of vulnerable young people. The last few months have been hard for everyone, but can you imagine finding yourself in a lockdown situation in what was already a difficult and chaotic home environment? This is true for many of the young people on the Youth Adventure Trust programme. Quickly switching their outdoor adventure programme to online 1:1 mentoring support has meant that the Youth Adventure Trust have continued to help those who have had more than most to contend with during isolation. Your support will not only spur me on to complete my challenge but will directly impact the lives of vulnerable young people in the midst of this pandemic. Thank you.
