I'm helping a charity raise £250,000 for its 25th birthday. Calvert Trust Exmoor is a charity and adventure centre that enables people with physical, learning, sensory and behavioural disabilities to achieve their potential through exciting activities. The charity has lost over £1 million due to closure during the Coronavirus pandemic. But by helping to raise at least £250,000 this year, the charity will be able to celebrate its birthday and can look ahead to another 25 years.

At our first visit to the Calvert Trust in 2015, I discovered recumbent cycling. After my stroke in 2009, I thought my cycling days were over. Imagine my sheer delight to be hooning around the lake at the Calvert Trust Exmoor at breakneck speeds. I came straight home and bought my own recumbent trike and haven't stopped since. I'm living proof of the priceless benefits that the Calvert Trust brings to disabled people and their carers.

The challenge is to do one hundred of something. So I propose to cycle 100 miles (160km) - either on my trike on local roads or on my recumbent exercise bike in my basement gym.
