Story

On the 13th of July Craig and I will be cycling 196 miles/315km over 3 days from London to Paris. We will be riding over 60 miles a day over 3 days which is the equivalent of London to Brighton 3 days in a row! Craig will also be taking on the challenge of running a Half Marathon event over the Brecon Beacons in September with a 6-hour timecap, all in aid of raising money for Astriid.

As a charity, Astriid provides unique help, advice and support to those with long term conditions to gain meaningful employment. From a job matching service, supporting people in writing C.V's, helping with interview skills, through to connecting businesses with candidates to help fill skill gaps, we provide vital services to those that need it. Not only that, we also offer training and advice direct to businesses around disability inclusion within the work force.We are best placed to provide these services as the majority of our workforce have lived experience with long term conditions.Over the past couple of years, we have seen an increase in demand for our services, and to be able to support our candidates, as well as expand our services, funding is very much needed.We are extremely grateful to everyone who takes part in a challenge, as well as those that donate
