Story

On Saturday the 31st of October the four of us will embark on our self-titled '20Twenty cycling challenge'. 

The challenge incorporates a relay-style bike ride of 20 hours and 20 minutes, with at-least one of the four of us at any one time continually doing laps of London's Regents park (a ~4.5km loop) from 3:40am on the 31st, to midnight on the 31st/1st November. 

Starting in the dark, finishing in the dark and covering an estimated 150+ laps (700-800km+), this will certainly be a tough challenge, but knowing the amazing impact any donations made will have with the ODAAT programme, will make it all worth it! 

(Details of the ODAAT programme are listed below and more information can be found here: http://www.rehab-online.org.uk/Inner-London/One-Day-At-A-Time-----------(ODAAT)_52498.aspx )

Any donations you can make will be greatly appreciated, and although our fundraising target is high, we hope that together we can all raise £2020, cycling 20hours & 20minutes in this crazy year of 2020!

We would also love to have any support in person, so if you have a free hour, please feel free to come down to regents park and cheer us on from the pavement (respecting social distance rules of course).

Thank you for your donation! Thank you for supporting the One Day At A Time drug and alcohol rehabilitation programme.

JJ, Ryan, Eleazar & Josh


ODAAT details:

ODAAT is a drug and alcohol quasi-residential male only rehabilitation program and a part of the charity HOPE worldwide. It began about 25 years ago and grew out of a need to help the homeless people HOPE worldwide's Two Step program was housing to deal with their addiction.Drugs and alcohol addiction can destroy families and friendships. It also has a terrible impact on the wider community.

Alcohol costs the NHS £billions and drugs addiction can lead to crime and violence to fund their habits.ODAAT helps to change men caught up in all this. Broken family relationships are healed. Self-esteem and confidence to give to others and serve is instilled. Volunteering and starting work takes place and lives are transformed.This inspires me to support ODAAT.Thank you for your donation!
