Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am raising funds for Norwood, a wonderful charity that is dedicated to supporting adults and children with learning disabilities. Norwood intervenes where many charities cannot, to provide those it supports with residential accommodation, therapy, training, supported employment and access to work experience.
My family have received enormous support from Norwood since 1994 to help us care for our daughter Stephanie who has cerebral palsy. Norwood has been a lifeline to us as a family and - as Stephanie has grown up - it has been the basis of her social life thanks to overnight respite breaks, Sunday and holiday clubs and a residential summer holiday. As Stephanie has turned 18 and entered adulthood we will now be leaning on all the other services and expertise that Norwood can provide.
I am now training hard to complete a 380km cycle ride in four and a half days through the desert from Ashkelon to Eilat in late November. I have, to date, not done more than 90 km (London to Brighton) on a single day let alone covered that distance - and more! - on each of four consecutive days! The prospect is daunting but, riding for Norwood, I am inspired by their work and by the vital help and the support they have given to so many families.
By sponsoring me you are contributing to the happiness of an adult or child who relies on Norwood to give them a real chance in life.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now.
Thank you!
