In an ideal world foodbanks wouldn't need to exist, no-one should struggle for basic necessities that most of us take for granted. Due to Covid-19 more people are finding themselves in a situation where they are forced to seek help and foodbanks are struggling to keep up with the demand.

As you know I can't say no to a daft challenge so on Thursday 20th August I have decided to cycle from Redcar to Arnside in Cumbria and back again, approx 192 miles, in one day to raise funds to buy essentials for our local foodbanks.
