Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My Dad (the Coast to Coast veteran) and I, along with a few others, are taking on the Tour de Trussell - a 126 mile bike ride from Coventry to Salisbury. The last time I went on a bike ride, I got a puncture whilst standing still so there is some work to be done!

Last year the Trussell Trust's network of food banks gave out over 1.3 million emergency 3 day food parcels to people across the country who found themselves in crisis and unable to buy food. I have worked for this truly incredible charity for almost a year now, and the need for the food banks is ever growing. This is simply unacceptable and the challenge we face to end hunger and poverty in this country seems bigger than ever. The work the TT are doing to support those providing emergency food, whilst working on the provision of signposting and prevention services alongside our lobbying and campaigning work is vital. 

We should not need food banks in this country, and put simply, we will not be here forever. Whilst the Trussell Trust and the food banks are still necessary, we really need your support to ensure those who find themselves in a situation where they need a food bank, get the help they need. 

Please consider sponsoring us - Dad has vetoed all pictures of us for this page so far (as we do not look 'sporty' enough) so we will update with super athletic training pics ASAP. Anything you can spare will make a huge difference.

Thanks a million
