Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hi Im Bobby and cycleing from John O'Groats to Lands End over 1000 miles:

I start on the 16th of june at hopefully about 10 ish, and should finnish on the 8th of July.

For those of you how dont know me I work for Swindon Borough council on the child health Team as a session worker.

The picture above is of me and two children i work with.

This has given me the opportunity to meet and work with many children with special needs in the swindon area. I have also visited Hope skip and Jump in Bristol and Cheltenham many times with the kids and they have always loved it and had a great day.

 Hop skip and Jump centres provid not onle great play fasilaties but also provid support for children and there famillys, with not just special needs but all Disabilities and those children who have long term illness.

This is why i feel a center in swindon would be of great benift to the community. Provid support for many famillys and children, who some times feel alone and isolated, giving them a place to meet and play. so please give generously, pluss it is a all fully long way!

I will be up dating this site along my cycle, so please pop by to monitor my progress, ether good or bad.
