Story

Please support my downhill mountain bike fundraising challenge to raise money for homeless charity Emmaus Leeds and Leeds flood relief appeal.

Thanks for visiting my JustGiving Page. I have decided to do a charity fundraiser that combines my love for mountain biking with a desire to support two causes that I feel passionately about. I will be completing four downhill mountain bike races throughout 2016, one of which will be the North West Downhill Mountain Bike Championship.

I’m aiming to complete all these races with my friend Vinny, in one piece and place as highly as possible. Our fundraising goal is £1,500 which will be split 50/50 between Emmaus Leeds and Leeds flood relief appeal.

Emmaus supports people who have experienced homelessness by providing them with a home and meaningful work in a community setting. I have directly benefited from Emmaus Leeds and I’m really keen to give something back and support the great work that they do. Whilst working at Emmaus Leeds I have been saving up to buy the bike I will be competing with and also my safety equipment.

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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
