My Story

Yikes! I am cycling 100 miles in one day (well under 8 hours otherwise they stop the race) in aid of the Mintridge Foundation (details about them are below) and I would love your support both verbally and financially!

Initially, I thought "how hard can it be?" A bit of training, some time out from the family and hey I might even lose some weight!

Well it's a lot of training, a lot of time out from the family and I still haven't lost weight - apparently, it's muscle I'm building šŸ˜‚

The truth is it's bloody hard work, especially when you have a dodgy hip and have always given up at the first hurdle. But I'm going to do this and raise lots of money for this amazing charity doing awesome things but I need your help please.

.The Mintridge Foundation is a registered charity dedicated to enhancing life skills in young people through sport. We provide a support network for young people by harnessing the power of positive sporting role models.

The Mintridge Foundation assists young people of all ages, abilities and physical capabilities to develop confidence and resilience, and creates awareness of the importance of mental and physical wellbeing through sport.
Our team of Ambassadors - Olympians, Paralympians and other professional sports stars from over 20 sports, both team and individual - work with young people in schools, clubs and academies across the UK.

Starting with visits including assemblies, coaching clinics and classroom sessions tailored to each organisationā€™s requirements, our ambassadors can then provide one- on- one remote mentoring in a safeguarded environment, delivered via technology such as Skype and Playwaze to build a lasting legacy for individuals.

The Mintridge Foundationā€™s successes demonstrate the incredible power of sport; from a menteeā€™s selection to represent Great Britain in their chosen field to enabling disabled children to find confidence and happiness just through participation. Understanding life after sport, we also support our Ambassadors in their transition from active sport to the next stage of their careers.

Please donate what you can - Ā£1, Ā£5 or Ā£100's every single one will make a difference to the charity and spur me on to reach the finish line. xxxx
