The Bruno 200 · 29 May 2015

Ampleforth Abbey is home to a community of Benedictine monks who welcome visitors into the Abbey for services, and to explore the extensive and stunning Abbey grounds. History & Heritage The Abbey Church and Visitor Centre offer a fascinating insight into a living monastic community. Founded in 1802, the Benedictine community at Ampleforth Abbey is the largest community of monks in the UK. The Abbey Church is filled with furniture, sculpture, and glass from skilled crafts people, including local oak craftsman Robert ‘Mousey’ Thompson. Retreats Our comfortable retreat facilities offer space to rest, reflect and relax away from the routine of everyday life. This place of prayer offers spiritual nourishment for those who seek it. All are warmly welcomed, whether part of a group, for a conference or your own personal retreat. Tea Room Home-made refreshments are available including hot meals and cakes, tea, coffee, and cold drinks including our Ampleforth Abbey apple juice and cider. Outside seating offers stunning views across the Ampleforth valley, and there is baby changing, children’s menu, and plenty of space to park buggies. Explore the Grounds The Ampleforth estate covers 1,200 acres of lakes and woodland in the Howardian Hills National Landscape, with the North York Moors National Park to the north. We welcome walkers and cyclists throughout the year.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The Bruno Bursary Fund was established in loving memory of Bruno Mycielski, first son of Joe  & Vivian. Bruno was born and died in January 2012. The goal is to have raised £600k in total, to be kept in endowment, so that every year £30k is generated to cover the cost of one student in the school for that academic year.  This will provide funding for the education of a child who otherwise would not have the opportunity to learn and grow at Ampleforth. Joe and Vivian have requested that the students receiving Bruno's Bursary over the years be from a background most needing help and support, the most vulnerable and disadvantaged young people whose lives could change forever as a result of such a bursary at Ampleforth. 

Joe (one of the nicest guys you will ever meet) has persuaded me (it didn't take much) to join 199 other riders and cycle 200 miles from Chatsworth House to Ampleforth College on 29/30 May 2015.
We have already started training for what will be a difficult task.  100 miles in 1 day is hard but to get up the next day and do it again!!! What was I thinking??

If you CAN sponsor me, please, please do.  Our individual targets have been set at £200 though we hope to raise more than this if we can.
