Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

It started when Mark joked about the 'Cycle to Work' scheme - imagine if I cycled all the way to work! he said...and before we knew it, what started as a play on words turned into the five of us committing to cycle 320 miles from Newcastle to Highbury...and there's no turning back now!

So, here it is: our action for children is to raise £5000 for Action for Children's Neglect Appeal. We want to do our bit to help tackle neglect which studies suggest affects up to 10% of all children and young people in the UK - that's almost 1.5 million.

Team 'Breaking the cycle' is:

Benedict Crowley, Nadine Ibbetson, Joe Howes, Tom McLaren-Webb, and Mark Benson.

Please take your action for children and donate what you can. But if you can't donate, don't worry - there's plenty of other ways to get involved. Click here to find out more www.actionforchildren.org.uk  

Thanks,

Team 'breaking the cycle'
