In April 2015, I am going to be undertaking my biggest challenge yet - cycling from London to Paris in just 4 days. I will be covering over 300 miles in those four days and will be raising money for the work of The Salvation Army. 

Next to the government, The Salvation Army is the biggest provider of social services in the UK. Whilst love and friendship are freely given, running the services takes time, expertise and money.  That is why The Salvation Army needs your support. 

The Salvation Army is a Christian Church which seeks to put its faith into action in the community.  Many of the people whom The Salvation Army help, feel they have no place in our society.  Poverty, family breakdown, homelessness, drug abuse and even old age can set people apart and leave them feeling marginalised, but The Salvation Army believes that people's lives can be changed for the better, no matter how big their problems appear.  That is why they offer practical help including residential centres for families at risk, homeless people, people struggling with addictions and older people as well as a variety of community programmes. 

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. Alternatively, if you wish to sponsor me and don't want to donate online then you can hand me your donation. 

Thank you
