Padded Thoughts..Cycle1000 · 1 May 2018

Story

I will be attempting to cycle 1000 miles from 1st to 31st May to raise funds for projects using exercise to improve mental health & wellbeing. I'm passionate about the benefits exercise can bring to anyone experiencing mental health issues from daily stresses right through to anxiety, depression & more serious conditions. In my work I see on a regular basis the positive effect being active has on clients & know from personal experience what physical activity does for me.

I'm aiming to raise £1000 to support projects run by the local MIND charity & also to help fund the purchase of a trishaw for Elcombe Residential Home in Bedford, (where I deliver chair based exercises) to enable residents living with dementia to be taken for cycle rides to improve their quality of life. 

The added challenge will be fitting the miles in around my regular commitments & running my business. So bike rides may well be at some strange times! I'd welcome company on my rides so if anyone would like to join me get in touch.

1000 miles is the same as

Lands End to John O'Groats!

If you'd like to specifically donate to the Trishaw fund please donate separately by cash or bank transfer as they don't have an online giving page thank you :-)
