I work for YMCA Downslink Group and see at first hand the amazing contribution to young people and communities that this charity gives.

Each year we support over 15,000 children, young people and families across Sussex and Surrey by helping them belong, contribute and thrive through active support such as accommodation , counselling, training and education.

The cycle route starts at the Isle of Sheppy at sunrise and finishes at Burnham on Sea at sunset... hopefully!  Yes it is a long way!! I'm doing this as a challenge for myself but also for the challenge of raising £1,750 for the YMCA. You can help by donating to this great organisation. I'll be tweeting my progress @pcolmex and putting images on instagram.
