I have decided to kill two birds with one stone, get fit and raise money. One of my favourite book and film series is The Lord of the Rings and so I thought I would recreate Frodo’s journey to Mordor from the shire by swimming, cycling and rowing (all indoor) my way through 1350 miles (the internet tells me that is how far Frodo and Sam walked). I haven’t set a time limit but I aim to raise at least £1000 for the Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust which is a charity close to my heart.

The Trust does vital work for our local communities and brings new opportunities to those who are less fortunate than most. It’s more than saving a grand house from disrepair, it’s bringing the community together, giving them new experiences whilst looking back at hundreds of years worth of history to make a bright future for our region. Please visit their website to see the vital work they do.

Regenerating Wentworth Woodhouse is a huge task. The Preservation Trust need's everyone's help to ensure the house has a bright future. We would be grateful for any amount that you are able to gift via our Just Giving Page. Your support at this time will help to shape our future. Thank You!
