Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The Baggies Cycle Challenge is now in its tenth year, and I am cycling from Rotherham FC to WBA FC in order to raise funds for The Albion Foundation as they strive to continue to make a positive difference within the local community.

The challenge is to cycle 160 miles in 3 days, and to make it slightly more challenging it has been decided that the route will take us up and over the Derbyshire Peak District!!

We depart Rotherham’s New York Stadium on Monday April 8th to cycle the 160 miles to the Hawthorns arriving in time for the fixture between the two clubs on Wednesday evening 10th April.

So why am I doing it:

The Albion Foundations goal is to deliver 10 million hours and make a difference to 100,000 lives, in the next 10 years.

The Albion Foundation runs a number of initiatives in support of the local community, including Alzheimer’s cafes, food parcel deliveries, educational initiatives in schools to help those that are struggling to achieve, mentoring and improving attainment with children in care or foster homes, opening up opportunities in disability sport, running sports initiatives in anti-social hot-spots and supporting sports development for girls. The Foundation went above and beyond during the pandemic: 110,000 food parcels delivered, 10,500 phone calls made by ex-players to the elderly and over 7,000 educational sessions delivered!
