Ride and Stride 2022 - Nick Perry
Fundraising for Nottinghamshire Historic Churches Trust
Story
The Ride+Stride event has been organised by Nottinghamshire Historic Churches Trust (NHCT) annually since 1991. Participants attempt to visit as many churches as possible between 10 am and 6 pm on 10th September by riding (on a bicycle/horse) or striding (walking/running) between them. All sponsorship money raised is shared equally between NHCT (towards the provision of grants for maintaining historic churches in the county) and the participant’s own church.
Last year, having recently recovered from a fractured collar-bone, I visited 45 churches (including all in our own parish of Wiverton in the Vale), raising around £1000 for NHCT and St John the Divine, Colston Bassett.
This year, having previously visited most of the churches between Loughborough and Newark, I am considering venturing further north, and I would greatly value your support in this venture.
I shall be donating the 'own church' portion of the sponsorship money to the St Mary’s Church renovation appeal, which is aiming to raise about £30k for necessary repairs to this historic ruined church in Colston Bassett.
If you would like to sponsor me, you can choose to:
- fill in my ‘physical’ sponsor form if you see me in church
- complete an online sponsor form (and I will arrange to collect any payment after the event)
- contact me using my details on the parish Who's Who page
- donate a fixed amount through the JustGiving site (click Give Now on this page) - please note that if you do this, you will find that the default option (in the blue box) is to make an additional contribution of 15% of your chosen amount to help fund the JustGiving platform. If you are comfortable with this, just accept the default; if not, you can select 'Other' and enter any amount from £0 upwards.
Many thanks for any help you can give.
