Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Many wonderful supporters of the YMCA have raised over £50,000 this year to help fund our charitable work with young people. They have inspired me to take on my own fundraising challenge and I am hoping that you might be able to support me.

On 4th July I will be joining 23 other YMCA Challengers to attempt to cycle 450 miles from coast to coast across the Pyrenees. It won’t be easy as there is over 50,000 feet of climbing across 18 mountains. That’s nearly twice the height of Everest or 125 times up Box hill! To make it even more difficult this challenge needs to be completed in 100 hours!

We are all doing this because we want to make a difference for children and young people in East Surrey. All money raised will go to the YMCA Life Change Fund which will fund our services in youth work, homelessness and mental health.

Any help you can give however small would be really appreciated.

Thanks again

Ian
