Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
On 26th June I rode the length of the Ridgeway, doing as much of it as it's possible to do off road by mountain bike, with a few road sections to go around footpaths where cyclists aren't allowed. All it all it took just under 14 hours to cover 89 miles. Thanks for all the support you are able to give, it means a lot!
Every pound I'm raising goes to the Northampton Youth Ministry Office for their 50:50 appeal. NYMO organise events for young people throughout the year and as their popularity grows, they need to fund more places so that more young people can take part in fantastic events like Lumos where they can explore their Christian faith in a safe and constructive setting. These events are really amazing and I'm proud to support their fantastic work.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: NYMO gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
So please sponsor me now!
Once you've done that, check out my blog to see how the training's coming along...
