Story

Thanks for sponsoring me!

Last Saturday I completed a 20 mile cycle twice around Grafham Water in Cambridgeshire with Scott - another student at my school - our Headteacher Chris, Scott's Dad, Javi who is a TA at our school and my mum.

It was my longest bike ride ever and I loved it!  There were very high winds which made the cycle harder but I loved the wind and watching the waves on the lake crashing while I rode!  I loved it so much that I dragged my poor mum out on another bike ride (just 6 miles this time) on Sunday!

This is my third year at Castle School. It is a fantastic school and I absolutely love it there.  All of the children at my school (ages 4 to 19) are disabled or have special needs so they need special facilities to help them. The school doesn't have a soft play room and it would make a huge difference to everyone to have one.  It will cost £14,000 so I did this bike ride to help raise money towards it. 

The school is waiting for its gift aid number from HMRC. When received my mum will send out Gift Aid Declarations by email to all UK taxpayers (if you don't mind) so the school can recoup this.

Thanks again for helping me raise money for my school!
