Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We are in the middle of a £50k fund-raising campaign to pay for urgent work on St Michael's Tidcombe, not only an ancient and much loved setting for christian worship and celebration and a place of sanctuary, peace and contemplation, but, sitting at the heart of a number of other equally remote villages with no working churches or village halls between them, a tremendously precious community asset. 

Our campaign is going well, we've raised £33k already and a good chunk has been Kindly donated by the Wiltshire Historic Churches Trust (WHCT). WHCT organise this 'Ride and Stride' event so that we can help to replenish their coffers to carry on supporting work like ours. 

I aim to cycle ca. 80 miles and get to 30 churches on 8th Sept and would be tremendously grateful to you for your support to this small endeavour in aid of a far bigger one. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

7th Sept update: 

Ancient rugby injury awakened by final training cycle last Friday. V disappointed. Plan is to rest it till early Oct and then crack it then.
