Ben and Mandy are cycling from Oakley road, N1 to Appleton, Oxfordshire - which is 96 miles at the moment (exact route TBC*) We are working towards the team goal of 900 miles completed on the day in memory of our dear friend Polly and for donations to this charity. 

*We are getting there with the route- going shorter but steeper! So more like 120km but tough climbs!

We will be sending updates of how we get on- think this will cleverly link to Strava if you have that. We aim to leave at sunrise- (I will be needing some training for that too) and all encouragement would be appreciated. Thanks for your support and donations so far. x

Polly's Fund was set up to offer a special opportunity to Isle of Wight children to apply for a five-day sailing or watersports course during their summer holidays for just £20, enabling them to have fun, be adventurous and learn new skills through participation in outdoor activities. Looking to the future we hope that Polly's Fund will continue this journey, by offering follow-on opportunities to the 2018 & 19 participants and by offering up to 36 children, aged 10-11, a five-day course in Summer 2020. To take part, each child will be asked to raise just £20 towards the course costs to show their commitment and to give them a sense of having earned the opportunity; last year, participants took part in sponsored squat challenges, gardening, car washing and quiche cooking to name a few activities!
