As a user of Felixstowe Library and a frequent attendee to the Open Space Group which MIND and Suffolk Libraries facilitate weekly, this is a safe and welcoming group open to anyone who wants to participate or just drop in to have a chat and a cuppa without judgement.

Many people use the facilities, events and activities at Suffolk Libraries and I can say Felixstowe can and does get busy.

I only recently found out that it is a Non-profit organisation, which was another reason to raise funds.

My reasons to do the Charity Ride is purely to 'Give Back' to Suffolk Libraries.

Felixstowe Library has eleviated certain issues i face daily and for this I am eternally grateful.

The majority of the staff are amazing and It is those I don't think realise how much they have helped with my daily struggle with Depression and Anxiety, a simple hello, smile and/or a conversation can turn my bad day into a good one.

As a whole, the majority at Felixstowe Library are as good as the entire Suffolk Libraries Charity, then to raise funds will be an honour and privilege.

My goal is to cycle from Felixstowe Library to Leiston Library then on to Lowestoft Library and back. A total of over 100miles round trip in one day.

Any amount donated will be fantastic as it will help keep the libraries active, and it would be a huge loss if any of Suffolk libraries were to close, as they are there for everyone.

For those who prefer to donate by cash, there should be a donation tin/box at Felixstowe Library. Thank you.
