Hello!

This summer I'm riding with Thighs of Steel in solidarity with refugees and displaced people.

Thighs of Steel is europe's longest charity bike ride: 5,400km from Glasgow to Athens and raising money for grassroots projects with dignified and sustainable initiatives for migrants and asylum seekers.

I'll be one of 100 steely-thighed cyclists who are riding in an 8-week relay through 11 different countries, sweating, crying, laughing and sweating again!

Every donation makes a difference. Take these examples from the Khora community centre in Athens:

£10 buys 20kg of fresh fruit and veg to serve at the Khora community kitchen, free for anyone who needs a hot meal with friendly faces

£50 covers the costs of running the Khora Asylum Support Team for a day, providing vital, free legal support to asylum seekers in Athens

£100 pays the electricity, water and gas bills at the Khora kitchen for a FORTNIGHT

£250 covers food supplies needed at the Khora kitchen for a whole MONTH

The full amount of your donation will be distributed by MASS Action to grassroots projects that support refugees in the UK, Greece and beyond.

That means every penny counts so don't forget to aid Gift Aid if you're eligible.

Thank you for being so awesome and generous.

In love, solidarity and bicycles
