John Reeves is raising money for SASH
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

MallYORKa · 15 November 2021

We help young people aged 16-25 in York, North Yorkshire and East Yorkshire who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. We do this thanks to a network of 'hosts' who have a spare room and who have been recruited and trained to accommodate a young person who is vulnerable.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I was going to do this ride last year for my 65th birthday but COVID put paid to that .So a year later,a year older and a year more decrepid I am going to go for it before I'm too old [I probably am already!!]

I am cheating a bit as using an electric bicycle but at approx 80 miles per day target you still know you have done everyone of those miles; esp the bottom!!

www.sash-uk.org.uk

SASH, the charity, are awesome and help youngsters to avoid going into the dangerous system of hostels and we have raised money for them before. This, I suspect, is my last gasp attempt at raising serious sums so any help from literally £1 to £1 million pounds [I don't expect that sum from anyone!] will be very welcome as every penny helps them given the tough times charities have had over the past couple of years

I will blog this ride daily on STRAVA/FACEBOOK if anyone is interested to follow this and have a start date of SEPTEMBER with a target to finish in 2 weeks

Many thanks for any help you feel able to give

UPDATE 

I have been training in Majorca for two weeks on some very big hills.It’s going to be tough doing 90 miles a day and depending on Covid may have to cycle through Spain instead which means even bigger hills but nothing ventured!

UPDATE

ROUTE CHANGE ..For logistical reasons now decided to follow the Camino de El Cid through Spain from Valencia to Santander

Slightly shorter but more mountainous!! Pretty remote and v historic

SETTING OFF ON THE 25TH SEPT! DONE LOTS OF TRAINING SO FINGERS CROSSED!!
