I've been cycling a lot to ease the boredom of furlough, so I figured I should put my energy to good use and set myself a challenge to raise money for a cause I really care about. Trees for Life are a fantastic charity who have done excellent work in the last 25 years (my lifetime) to rewild the Highlands and restore the Caledonian forest. 

Forests are vital to our planet's ability to thrive. They provide carbon capture, diverse ecosystems, and a powerful respite from the stresses of everyday life. If you have a couple of quid to spare please consider donating, you'll be helping Trees for Life with their ambitious target of planting millions more trees and you'll also be helping to keep me busy for the remainder of my time on furlough. 

I'll be posting regular updates on my progress towards the 500 mile goal. Thanks in advance for your kind donations! :)
