On 18th / 19th April, I will be taking part in a 120-mile bike ride challenge from the Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth to Selhurst Park with a number of other riders. As part of this challenge, I have pledged to raise £500 for the Palace for Life Foundation.

The Palace for Life Foundation has been working with young people for over 25 years. They use the power of sport and Crystal Palace Football Club to change the lives of young people within the local community, particularly the most hard-to-reach and hard-to-help.

Growing up in south London has never been tougher but the foundation are in a unique position to drive positive change. They work in schools and the community, inspiring young people to find a better path and to lead a healthier life. Your donations will directly support their work and make a real impact, for real people.

ANY donation, no matter how small will not only assist me in reaching my pledged target but help and support disadvantaged young people in the South London area, through the great work that this charity does.
