After missing 2 years fundraising from these challenges, we are now embarking once again on a challenging ride from Pisa to Rome. This will cover over 270 miles with a great deal of undulating terrain, over 4 days. Please support the charity in any way you can!

Once again this year I am being sponsored by two Outstanding businesses Hydraulic Technical Services (NE) Ltd and Norcam Hydraulic Services Ltd - I thank these two companies from the bottom of my heart for the continued support for the Foundation.

We want to support the people of the North East to live happier and healthier lives. Our aim is to use the power of football to tackle some of region's biggest challenges - low life expectancy, poverty, poor mental health, unemployment and anti-social behaviour. Thanks to your donation, we can provide positive support and engagement with our communities to help them be the best they can be, creating happier and healthier communities.
