We all have our very own reasons for doing charity events and sometimes they are personal and have effected our lives, on this occasion none of these 3 charities have had to become part of my family life but have however been part of my friends lives. The work that the 3 charities listed below have done to help, support and give guidance and above all made children & adults lives better for them has given me the inspiration to complete in this charity bike ride.
Not any old bike ride, no its a 580 mile bike ride over 6 days starting in Haverfordwest and ending at the iconic Eiffel Tower in Paris, its a hilly start that will no doubt test the legs and the team of riders are looking to raise £30,000 for the charities to be equally split.
I truly believe that the hard work and efforts of the chosen 3 charities in Prostate Cymru, Pembrokeshire National Autistic Society and Riding for the Disable really do make a difference to the people effected and also the families of the people effected.
This will be my biggest challenge to date, my biggest driver is being at the end of the whole experience being part of the team that hand over the cheques to these amazing charities and please dig deep, any donation is one that I will be extremely grateful for and one that will all go to the charities as I am paying my own expenses to ensure that all of the money raised goes to the charities.
Wish me luck and here is to no blisters - Please give anything that you can.
Thanks
Chris
