Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
I will be joining approximately 50 cyclists from Portsmouth and around the country in support of the Faith and Football charity which is headed up by professional footballers Linvoy Primus of Portsmouth FC and Darren Moore of Derby County FC.
The aim of the ride is to raise funds which will allow the charity to extend its ever increasing work with young people, both in the UK and abroad. The work in the UK includes community and educational programmes, such as 9 inner-city football leagues, a literacy scheme for underachieving readers and a business enterprise youth challenge. The overseas work supports some of the most needy children in the world, such as orphans, AIDS victims, disabled and poverty stricken in Africa, India and Mexico.
The ride itself is a physical challenge that will follow the route taken by Linvoy's playing career. It will start at Charlton Athletic FC on Friday 5th September 2008 when participants will ride on to Barnet FC. On Saturday 6th Sep[tember the route will take us from Barnet FC to Reading FC. Finally, on Sunday 7th September 2008 we will cycle from Reading FC to Fratton Park the home of Portsmouth FC. A total journey of 160 miles.I am just glad that Linvoy didn't spend a month on loan at Carlisle United!
