Story
Once again I am participating in the annual Ride and Stride event to raise money for historic churches in Leicestershire. This year I particularly have in mind two village churches in the benefice I serve who have had the lead from their roofs stolen and various other damage caused in the process, which has deeply shocked and challenged those village communities - not least financially.
Last year I managed to reach my target of cycling 30 miles to 30 churches. I had hoped to beat that target this year, and then I was involved in a car accident which I still haven't fully recovered from. I am not to be defeated however, and instead of riding this year I shall be striding! I aim to visit 12 churches on foot in the villages around where I live. As I currently can't walk more than half an hour without some pain and discomfort, an all-day cross-country walk is going to be as much as a physical challenge as last year's 30 mile cycle ride was I reckon!
Please sponsor me generously if you can, and make my suffering and blistered feet worthwhile! Many thanks!
More information on the charity can be found here http://lhct.org.uk/
50% of the money raised goes to LHCT, the other 50% goes directly to the churches in my benefice.

6 years agoMade it round 14 churches in the end! Tired and sore, but had lots of fun adventures (full story to follow), met some lovely folks and the weather largely held fair. A good day. My sponsorship page will stay open this week - please support me if you are able

6 years agoOut on a ramble around Holy Island at the weekend, getting in some last minute training for the Ride and Stride! Back held up reasonably well, did 3.5 miles in just over 2 hours (could have done it in less time if I hadn't stopped to build a cairn on the beach, but it was Holy Island after all!) Not too much pain until the last half mile or so; a bit more rest and physio and I should be good to go for Saturday. Thank you to everyone who has sponsored me so far, please do consider it if you haven't already - I am grateful for every penny
