A few years ago a load of Regenerate young people did a sponsored bike ride from London 2 Brighton.  I didn't go on the ride because I didn't have the confidence I would make it all the way.   

In May last year I did my first long ride.. about 70 miles with a little crew from Regenerate down to Calais, to the project working with refugees.  It was an amazing experience for everyone, the journey, the challenge, the adventure and getting out of London for a cause bigger than ourselves.

In April this year we going to do the biggest challenge of our lives.  We are going to attempt to ride all the way from our front doors on the estate in Roehampton and ride 1300 miles south down to the shores of Africa.  

After doing Regenerate for 18 years, the thing I've seen that grows confidence amongst young people and has the biggest impact is when we take them out of their environment and go and do something that is about something bigger than ourselves.  

This trip will be just that and more... We are doing it with a group of young adults from Regenerate, raising money so that Regenerate can create opportunities for other young people to get these life changing opportunities.
