I've found another silly thing to do that will put my Mam on edge for the duration, but it's all good for charity right?

After re-finding my love for cycling during the COVID-19 lockdown, I have fallen off the saddle (so to speak) for the last couple of years. I have also ran out of excuses to give to Andrea about why I can't join Rugby League Care's epic rides - but this one got my attention.

So, this seems a perfect combination of my love of two of my favourite sports, an excuse to get back out on the bike as well as a supporting a great, if not undermentioned, charity that champions a sport I've surrounded by around since I was the size of a rugby ball.

It's the US road trip of a lifetime - and I'd love your support!

From September 7-12 2025 I'll be cycling 400 gruelling miles from Washington DC to Central Park in New York City to support a fantastic cause, Rugby League Cares.

RL Cares is the sport's official charity and it impacts on people across our communities in so many ways, from providing wellbeing and welfare support to current players, careers guidance to recently retired players and help and advice on brain health, dementia and other conditions to retired players of all ages.

RL Cares also delivers life changing and life-affirming health programmes to young players and their coaches though its partnership with Movember and to the wider public via the Offload programme.

You can help me show appreciation for this great charity by sponsoring me on the ride - all donations, big and small, are welcome.

Thank you!
