Myself and Ben Wilson will be cycling 200 miles in 10 days to try and raise awareness and money for the charity Black Minds Matter. This charity was set up following the death of George Floyd with the aim of supporting black people who face struggles with mental health. 

Some of the aims of Black Minds Matter are as follows; 

• Provide a safe space for young people to come together to share experiences and challenges > towards shared and mutual peer to peer support. 
• Support the self-development of young people, particularly those from undeserved and marginalized communities > towards achieving their goals and aspirations. 
• Facilitate a programme of knowledge exchange and leadership development > towards building skills and know how to impact on social change.

We will probably never understand the injustice that many black people face around the world. However, like many, we were angered and upset by the recent death of George Floyd and want to do something, as little as it may be, to help raise awareness for the social injustices that exist and the impact they have.

Any donations will be greatly appreciated and hopefully we can reach our target. Thank you!

Aaron & Ben
