Story

Thanks for checking in. 

After getting a road bike just before Christmas I have decided it would be a great idea to cycle 170 miles coast to coast with my (much fitter) friends from Derby! I’m fine with the idea now as I’m drinking a coffee and eating a bacon butty whilst typing this message to appeal to your generosity. The reality of the task ahead will soon set in I’m sure.

Anyway, without getting too deep, losing loved ones is tough and it can be hard to navigate your way through the feelings that follow.  For me, talking to someone impartial was the only way I could start to pull myself back together.  I’m thankful that services such as Walsall Bereavement Services are on hand to provide such valuable support.

Whilst I could put myself through 170 miles of cycling for many charities, Walsall Bereavement Services is not just local to me but also one that deserves your help to enable them to keep helping people when they need it most.

Any donations will be appreciated.
