This July, I'll be cycling over 400kms in 4days through the Swiss Jura Mountains to raise funds for the Lloyd’s of London Foundation, supporting Mental Health, Social Mobility, and Climate initiatives.

Cycling has played a central role in my recovery journey post-knee surgery last year. Yet, the prospect of covering 400km, though exciting, feels somewhat intimidating. Nonetheless, the opportunity to support these exceptional charities will serve as a great source of motivation. Two charities hold special significance for me:

Mental Health Foundation: Focused on improving lives by taking action to prevent mental health problems.

Thames Reach: Works to end street homelessness by helping vulnerable and homeless people find homes.

My employer will match all donations up to £1,500, so every £1 counts. Thank you for your support.
