The current state of our children is a cause for concern, and they require our immediate attention and support. The prevalence of mental health issues among young people has reached an unprecedented level, with an alarming increase in symptoms of anxiety and depression. The declining levels of physical activity only add to the gravity of the situation, leaving our children vulnerable to a host of health-related problems. It is imperative that we take proactive steps to address these issues and provide a safe and nurturing environment for our children to thrive in.

Less than half of children (47.2%) are active as defined by the Chief Medical Officers recommended daily amount of 60 minutes a day. And millions children fall well below that level and are active for less than 30 minutes.

In July, I am thrilled to embark on a challenging yet fulfilling journey with Pegasystems and their Partners as we embark on a 259-mile cycling trip from London to Amsterdam over three days.

Our primary goal for this adventure is to raise significant funds and awareness for the invaluable work of the Youth Sport Trust. This outstanding charity aims to promote education and development among young people through sports and play, creating opportunities for them to thrive and achieve their full potential.

I am honored to be part of this noble cause, which aligns with my personal values of promoting youth empowerment and overall well-being.

Please consider donating to my fundraising page to help me reach my goal of $1,500. Let's make a positive impact together!
