A wonderful team of nine cyclists and me are taking on a significant challenge; riding over 100 miles a day for 4 and half days, totalling 475 miles.

The aim of this endeavour is to raise over £50,000 for Hope and Homes for Children. Setting off from the charity's headquarters in Salisbury, our dedicated group of riders will head for Land's End and back again in an epic loop.

It's a big challenge but we are determined to do it and highlight the urgent need to help the estimated 5.4 million children across the globe who are needlessly confirmed to orphanages.

The focus of our fundraising is Ukraine, which has one of the large systems of institution care in Europe. If we hit our target we can help Hope and Home for Children transform the lives of at least 50 children from Ukraine. We would be so grateful for your support.
