My story

 

Last summer I cycled 350 miles from Holland to Bielefeld in Germany. It was hard, but I enjoyed it. Having organised the ride again this year, I decided to take part once more.  My inspiration are the children at The Hornsey Trust. The charity runs the only specialist centre and school for children with cerebral palsy in the London region. 

I am no great cyclist, but I can ride. It takes every ounce of concentration for children at the centre just to learn to stand up on their own. And many can only do this with support.

Here are a few examples of what your sponsorship will help the charity buy. £5: two-handed cup or picture book, £20: one parent and child session, £50: a home visit or switch access computer game, £100: a ladder back chair or new reading scheme. 

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also an efficient way to sponsor me. The Hornsey Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. 

You can read about our trip at www.rideforchildren.org.uk
