MarkLogic London to Amsterdam charity bike ride · 12 September 2019

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

About a month ago I committed to this fundraising event, purchased my 1st road bike and headed out to Richmond Park to start my training...

I am cycling with the MarkLogic team from our London office to our Utrecht office via Amsterdam - nearly 200 miles (320km) over three days in September to raise money for Kings Rugby Development Academy - Old Ruts Kenya. 

Anyone who knows me, knows that we (myself, my husband and our 3 beautiful children) love rugby and enjoy helping coach the little ones at Old Ruts Rugby Club on a Sunday morning.  

Sally and Stuart McGreevy who spearhead the charity are part of the Old Ruts family. They relocated to Kenya to be even more active on the ground. Their son James, has successfully set up an Old Ruts Kenya adventure.

On Sundays, up to 300 Mini's (boys and girls) are collected from the streets of Kiberia and bused over an hour's drive to rugby school facilities where James has established a special Sunday experience for them all to look forward to......rugby, exercise, friendships, togetherness and importantly some post match rugby food, which for the majority will be their only hot meal of the week.

To see some of the wonderful work that James has done, with the support of this charity, please take a look at this vide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2xpW6Dz_vA
