Mark Goodhew is supported by us at Thera Trust and in April last year, he received financial support which allowed him to purchase an accessible bike.

This allowed Mark to purchase a fun-2-go trike with an electric motor. This bike was adapted to meet Mark's needs and allowed him to safely go on bike rides with staff as part of his physio and exercise routine. This has allowed him to keep fit alongside staff, meet new people and boost his mental health and self-esteem.

As a result, Mark wants to undertake an incredible cycling challenge of 150 miles over April 2023. Mark expressed his wish to do this so he can raise money to help others who are supported by Thera which is absolutely fantastic!

This is going to be a huge challenge for Mark as it will require him to cycle 30 miles over 3 days each week to meet his target - come rain or shine! Currently, he is cycling in his local area to build up how far he can go. So far his record over one weekend is 21.8 miles (14.3 miles in one day) which is already an amazing achievement.

Any support for Mark in his fundraising efforts to help more people supported by Thera would be greatly appreciated.

All of us here at Thera are cheering Mark on!
