Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Roller Coasters don't figure much if at all in my life. I hate them with a passion and only have ridden about three in total, generally under duress. If I am at a theme park with a youth or church group I am normally the one holding the bags, whilst others ride them. To many riding a roller coaster won't seem a big deal, however to me it's a mountain, a marathon, or other fear inducing challenge.

However I also hate childhood poverty and that's why On Sept 24th I will be joining ‘REVS ON A COASTER’ as a train full of clergy ride The Big One, on Blackpool Pleasure Beach, to help raise money for The Children’s Society which works with the most disadvantaged children to ensure that they are loved, valued and listened to.

With them we fight childhood poverty, harm and neglect. In hard times, children are among the hardest hit and miss out on so much of what it means to be children. For many, a day on a theme park is a distant dream. By supporting the work of The Children’s Society we don’t just help them survive, we help them flourish. So please sponsor me to get my feet off the ground, and so help bring joy to children living with poverty or neglect.
