My story

Team Re-Cycling are about to endure the Firkin Challenge on behalf of the Black Sheep Brewery and Wooden Spoon Charity.

 The Firkin Challenge is 100 miles of cycling through the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Dales.

Departing from the Black Sheep Brewery in Masham, this century ride is a challenging 'Tour of the Dales'! Taking in the stunning surrounds of Swaledale, past the highest pub in England at Tan Hill, through Kirkby Stephen and back to Masham via Garsdale and Wensleydale.

Wooden Spoon is a children's charity founded in 1983 that is dedicated to helping disadvantaged children and young people across the British Isles live happier, richer lives.

 

 In the UK, one child in every hundred suffers from a lifelong disability that will profoundly affect his or her ability to lead a full and happy life. More than 3.8 million children grow up in low income households or live in an environment where they are subjected to poverty of aspiration.Over 1 million young people aged between 16-19 are not in full time employment, education or training. At Wooden Spoon, we believe that all children and young people deserve the chance to live happy fulfilled lives regardless of the challenges they may face. Spoon harnesses the spirit and values of rugby to give disadvantaged children and young people a chance to achieve their full potential in life.
