Story
OK folks. So here is my latest challenge. My local Special Needs School - Sir Charles Parsons, who look after Children with multi complex disabilities and do an amazing job in the community, are in desperate need of a new, specially adapted Minbus. This will give the Children roughly 13 more years of access for all, field trips, educational visits and days out. Having been involved with the school and seen first hand the essential work and joy that is brought to the children, I have decided to do my best to raise the grand total of £60,000 and provide this much needed Minibus that these kids so deserve. I will cycle the length of the UK, roughly 1000 miles, in 10 days. I'm used to jumping around a Rock n Roll show stage, but do not cycle, so clearly this is going to be a horrendously hard task, of which I endeavour to tackle with non stop training and perseverance. I am appealing to my friend and followers of the band, around the Globe to please support me and make this possible. If all our followers gave £1, we would actually reach the goal!! Times are financially difficult however, and all charities are worthy in their own right, so any help to this cause is massively appreciated. I've given myself a good start, by perfoming for donations, raising a great beginning sum of over £9000. Please ,if you can , get behind me and make this become a reality. ❤️
