On 22nd  May 2015, I will be amongst 200 cyclists who will take on the challenge of cycling 200 miles from Chatsworth House in Derbyshire back to Ampleforth Abbey in North Yorkshire to raise money for the Bruno Bursary Fund. 

The challenge route goes up and down dale with  category 5 (very steep) hills and long climbs along the way. It's a proper challenge which I  really had not been expecting and I have been in training since January with early 6.00 weekend starts to build up my stamina and technique. It will be extremely hard work to complete the 200 miles and I will need all your support to keep my poor sore bottom on the saddle.

This fund was set up by Jozef & Vivian Mycielski whose son Bruno died shortly after his birth in January 2012

£454,000 of the target £600,000 has already been raised. to create a bursary, in Bruno's name, at Ampleforth College.

The funds will be kept in endowment so that each and every year they generate £30,000 to cover the cost of one student in the school for that academic year.

Students receiving Bruno's Bursary will 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.

There are many claims on your charity I know and it may seem like there are more desperate causes but I hope you can see your way to supporting this cause and to give a child the best start in life so that they may in turn help others.
