Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On the 12th June 2015, I will be undertaking arguably the most difficult challenge of my life and cycling from Land's End to John O' Groats with Karl Hodgson and Jordan Dashti. The aim is to complete the task in the minimal time of 10 days. This includes us riding approximately 90 miles per day, in any weather, without any days of rest. We aim to cover 3 countries on our bikes with little to no assistance and no support vehicle. We have already began our training and will continue to train hard throughout the coming months so we can be as prepared as possible for the epic journey we have set for ourselves.
We have each decided on a charity each to raise for. I have chosen to do this task for Everton in the Community, as an extreme and fitness related challenge is the most relevant for this charity; I am also a season ticket holder in the Lower Bullens and have followed Everton home and away for approximately 14 years so I get to see this fantastic charity in action.
Everton in the Community works in partnership with many individuals and organisations on a local, national and international level. In order to fulfil our potential and achieve success throughout our community projects, Everton in the Community has clear vision - to be the best sporting charity in the UK through the use of a comprehensive variety of sporting and social opportunities provided on a local, national and international scale, Everton in the Community's mission is:
"Through the positive promotion of sport, physical activity and the brand of Everton Football Club, we are committed to provide high quality, accessible participation and development opportunities that positively change lives and bring enjoyment to our communities."
Recently Everton in the Community have been recognised in the Telegraph; stating that the charity is "a shining beacon for football as a force for good in the community", the article also recognises that EitC "run disability teams, social inclusion schemes, work with young offenders and transform the lives of children among numerous initiatives that benefit society"
