Story

<p>Well after completing last years 63 mile Cyclone challenge I have decided to go for the 104 route this year in aid of the The Forces Children&rsquo;s Trust.&nbsp; A&nbsp;charity devoted to helping dependent children that have lost a parent whilst serving with the Armed Forces.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The FCT, by reason of its aims and size, has the flexibility and ability to make decisions and offer help as needed, with minimum fuss and consequent time-loss. The scope of its ability to help both an individual and a group of children in similar circumstances is illustrated by two recent cases.&nbsp; It provided special software for a dyslexic young boy who had sadly lost his father.&nbsp; The cost was beyond the mother in her present circumstances and not available from other sources.&nbsp; The immediate response by the FCT enabled the young boy to instantly improve his educational skills.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and for any contributions you can give to a worthy cause.&nbsp; The route is very hilly with 2374m (7789ft)&nbsp;of climbing, but knowing It is for a good cause sould give me teh mental strength to see this through.</p>
