Story

I am the CEO of Coach Core; a charity that uses sport and apprenticeships to change the lives of disadvantaged young adults around the UK and provide communities with inspiring role models.

Covid19 has had a huge impact on the life chances of many young people and through our #Move2021 campaign, we want to change that and also connect people through the power of sport and physical activity through February.

Using the 2-0-2-1 theme, I will be attempting to cycle virtually from our head office, The Oval Cricket Ground, to another international cricket ground, Old Trafford, that just happens to be one of our amazing employer partners too.  It is exactly 202.1 miles with some 2000m of climbing and I'll be attempting to do it in under 12 hours!

Through the power of Zwift, you can ride with me on Friday 26th February from 7am or tune into our CC social channels to watch live and give me some support!  The furthest I have ridden in one day is 115 miles and that was 3 years ago... with friends... and plenty of nice scenery (not solo in my living room!) so this will be a heck of test!

Please support our cause and join our Strava club (search Coach Core) to join in with the fun!

Thank you :)
