This summer I will be joining Regenerate on a massive adventure - cycling from Rome to London!

This will be a huge challenge with some of us carrying a bit of extra timber and not really by any stretch 'proper' cyclists.  It will involve pedalling 1500 miles from Rome, crossing the Alps from Italy to France, and then beginning the long journey back to London, with over 60,000 feet of elevation in total! 

I'll be doing it with people from all walks of life, including some of the fantastic young people that have benefited and had their lives transformed by the amazing work Regenerate does.  

For me, it will require digging deep and will test my mental strength and perseverance, but Regenerate aims to encourage everyone to dream BIG. I am hoping to help raise awareness of what this charity is about, and raise some much needed dosh for them to continue their mission of creating opportunities for young people to thrive. 

As a trustee of Regenerate, I really believe in this charity, and have seen first hand how the money raised makes a tangible difference. Regenerate provide amazing  training, mentoring and employment opportunities for young people so that they can grow in confidence and build key skills, make positive changes in their lives and impact their community for good. Young people growing up in London housing estates face challenges in life that affect their outcomes both in the short and long term. The work Regenerate does helps gives them a much needed break to help them get their lives on track and make progress in their lives.  

Please sponsor me as I take on this challenge, and help Regenerate reach their fundraising target.
