Thank you for visiting my page!
Cycling has been a through line for my life; it gave me a community of friends in my early teens, it's what initially got me interested in video creation, and having recently re-discovered my passion for life on two wheels, it has given me a way to escape my office and adventure.
I can say with confidence that without cycling, my life would have taken a very different path; So I want to give people who otherwise wouldn't have access to cycling the opportunity to do so.
For that reason, I am cycling 1000KM in the month of October (31 days), to raise money for Cycling Projects - a charity with a number of hugely positive initiatives:
Their Wheels for All program provides specially adapted cycles to children and adults with disabilities and differing needs, holding sessions allowing the individuals to enjoy the benefits of cycling in a sociable environment. They also loan out their adapted cycles to allow disabled people to independently make cycling journeys and travel in their local area. £500 in donations equates to one adapted bike purchase.
Their Pedal Away program is a community based cycling scheme that enables people to go on rides together; regardless of their age, ability or cycling experience.
As well as their Bike & Boots scheme that aims to help job seekers who wish to cycle/hike to work as part of their commute, and their wheels into employments scheme, offering volunteering positions to people who want to gain experience, skills and confidence for finding work.
All of the above are causes that I believe in, and I really hope this small fundraiser can make a difference.
