Fundraising for RMA - The Royal Marines Charity
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
As a celebration of my 50th birthday I intend to cycle 50 miles every day for 50 days around the Devon roads starting on 23 August and finishing on 11th October 2024, which is my 50th birthday. I intend to cover a total of 2500 miles to raise vital funds for my chosen charities which are the RMA - the Royal Marines Charity, Rock2Recovery, Naval Children’s charity and Royal Navy Officers charity who have all supported me and my family through some very tough times. All donations will be split equally between those mentioned above*.
Cycling 50 miles daily may not be an incredible feat to some but to add context, I am not a seasoned cyclist. Although I am generally in good health I have suffered with PTSD and suffer with osteoarthritis in my neck, shoulders and knees. To add a small layer of complexity I am doing this with no additional help or support while I continue to work. By undertaking this challenge, I hope to inspire others to do something similar.
I encourage you all to make a small donation towards my chosen charities who so generously help and support Royal Navy and Royal Marines serving members, veterans and their families. Your kind donations will provide an enormous boost to those who need it and will give me the strength I need to travel the 2500 miles required to hit the target. Please get donating, every little bit helps!
Thank you in advance, Richie.
