Story
After the HUGE success of “Cody’s Xmas Toy Box” last year I have once again thought up another way to physically challenge myself and help less fortunate children this Christmas.
I have been taking part in Bikeability at school and have recognised that there will be local children that have never owned their own bike. So this year I’ve decided to challenge myself to cycle (using the cycle paths) from the FALKIRK WHEEL to HOLYROOD BOXING GYM its around 36 miles!! I hope to raise as much money as I can to purchase shiny NEW bikes for local children in time for Xmas. From 2 year old balance bikes to larger bikes allowing teenagers to perhaps cycle to school or be able to socialise outdoors with their friends.
The campaign will run from 13th November for 3 weeks when once again I will contact local shops and businesses for help and spread the word using social media. My challenge will take place on 3rd December .... I’m hoping for a mild winter!!
I am looking for donations of new bikes suitable for any age and / or bike helmets and security locks. If anyone wants to make a cash donation to help fund the purchase of these items then this can be made using my justgiving page!
Through contact with social workers and schools the bikes will then be distributed to local children in time for Xmas!! Hopefully like last year making lots of children smile on xmas morning 😀
Thank you
Cody 🚴🏽

6 years agoToday I made my final bike drop to local families ready for Xmas morning. 🎅 With Justgiving, cash, auction & bike donations ...... TOGETHER we all raised 64 brand new shiny bikes and helmets for local children all going to families that struggle to get by each month and deserve a break at Xmas time!! 👏🏼👏🏼Ticking the main gift of their kids Santa list has hopefully given them extra money to enjoy the little luxuries most of us take for granted at Xmas!! Huge thank you and merry Xmas to everyone that supported me. Love Cody 🚴🏽

7 years agoI have been busy helping my mum and dad choose bikes, order bikes, collect bikes and deliver bikes all week!! So far we have bought 52 bikes with enough money to secure another 12 .... 64 bikes = 64 happy kids = 64 releived parents 👍🏼 My justgiving page is still open as I’m still getting donations so unlike some justgiving pages that the target total is all that is required Cody’s Xmas Cycle can accept funds over and above my set target and we can continue to help local kids smile on Xmas morning .... thank you everyone 🚴🏽🎅👏🏼 Cody xx
