Julie Bentley is raising money for Sexual Health Charity, FPA

Participants: Julie Bentley and Sean Murphy

Midnight cycle ride · 19 June 2010

Every year we answer thousands of questions about sexual health. We help parents talk to their children about growing up, support health professionals, campaign for better sexual health services and fight for the rights of all young people to have appropriate relationships and sex education.

Story

So the bikes are out again, but NO we are not attempting another 1000+ miles the length of the country - once in a lifetime is enough for that! However we are back on the bikes for charity,  this time though its  a mere 100K around London, at night, starting at midnight it should take us about 6 hours - EASY!!!

Its for FPA,  celebrating our 80th birthday this year we are finding its proving increasingly challenging  financially at the moment, especially for charities that are not "soft and cuddly" subjects like ours. Talking about sex, relationships and sexual health isn't easy, we are still all too often not good at having straight forward conversations on these complex and sensitive subjects. As a result we still have a very poor record in the UK on levels of STI's, unplanned pregnancies and young people leaving school still not understanding how reproduction happens. This is very wrong.

Supporting us on this ride will help to raise funds so that FPA can continue to challenge stereotypes, myths and inaccurate sensationalist reporting in the media. It will also help us continue to give people straightforward, accurate non judgemental advice, information and support about sex, relationships and sexual health. You were very generous last year and we don't want to push our luck! so we have set a  modest fundraising target and only ask for you to consider a modest donation - it will all help.  

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. 

Thank you for supporting FPA and for helping us to TALK SENSE ABOUT SEX, Julie and Sean
