SUSSEX 1000...
Inspired by the 'stay local' ethos, I will be doing a 20-day 1000 mile cycle tour of Sussex from Hammer to Camber. Setting off on Sat 11th September, I'll be zig-zagging through the 305 cities, towns and villages of my home county without crossing the border or cycling the same road more than once. I will be camping each night and generating my own electricity through dynamo-based pedal power!
This trip is a result of postponing the original plan of cycling the coastline of the UK, which I now plan to do in 2022.
WHY WOLO?
After losing my Dad to cancer in 2019 and seeing my young cousin bravely fight the disease, I want to raise money for a local cancer charity.
I discovered the Wolo Foundation last year, a fantastic Sussex-based charity offering help to families affected by cancer. After meeting the founders, Fler and Justin, I knew this was the charity to support. Their 'we only live once' ethos is all about making the most of each day, and saying yes to doing the things we love.
HELP ME SMASH MY FUNDRAISING TARGET!
I'll be turning 40 the day after I've completed this challenge so if you'd like to sponsor some miles and help me beat my target, that would absolutely make my day!
Massive thank you for your support
Love Alice xxx
