From the work I've done with Shelter and Crisis I have seen the impact that homelessness can have on people's lives. Once you have lost your home, it becomes much harder to find or keep a job, to stay healthy, to maintain your relationships. The longer you are homeless, the harder it is to get back on your feet.

Shelter do amazing work to prevent homelessness. They give advice and support to people facing homelessness and are also campaigning to address the root causes of the problem.

This is a massive challenge for me as before this year I'd never cycled further that 15 miles!! But now the miles are stacking up and I even own my first piece of lycra... (it was free).

Please make a donation if you can. It's a massively important issue and Shelter will spend your money wisely and well.

If you do, I will even forgive you for laughing at my padded shorts and stupid outfit!

Thank you!
