Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page

My name is Shahzad Yousaf and I will be taking part in a national event run by Muslim Community Events to raise much needed donations for Oxfordshire Mind and raise awareness of mental health issues that we as a community are presented with.

As you may all know I did this last year and together wth the founder and CEO of MCE we managed to inspire a further 8 people to join us this year. We have each pledged to raise a minimum of £500 for our individual charities and have volunteered to cover the cost of the trip ourselves.

A scenic ride through the idyllic countryside's of both England and France.  The 3 day charity ride starts at London Tower Bridge to Paris Eiffel Tower covering ~180mi: 
Friday 25th August – London to Newhaven – 65 miles;
Saturday 26th August – Dieppe to Cergy – 95 miles; and
Sunday 27th August – Cergy to Paris – 22 miles.

The charity ride is part of the nationwide campaign, Helping My Community, run by Muslim Community Events: https://www.mcevents.org.uk/helpingmycommunity/overview/
