Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I have been lucky enough to of been given an opportunity to ride 100 miles through the closed streets of London! And at the same time represent a charity that stands for something that I believe in and can relate to.
Mental health for me has always been a huge battle, having an addictive personality is not easily understood, I am lucky enough to have found cycling and the benefits have been absolutely life changing for me. Please help me in raising £500 for Bosence farm so they can help give others an opportunity to turn their lives around.
Bosence Ride London-Essex 100
Bosence are a registered charity who provide an essential service to those whose lives have been adversley affected by addiction. Since 1995 Bosence have provided treatment to thousands of individuals from all walks of life; empowering and supporting them to achieve their potential free from addiction.
The funds raised from the Ride London-Essex 100 event will be put towards the building of an outdoor ‘Green Gym’ which will complement an existing eco-therapy project. The Green Gym will incorporate a range of outdoor exercise equipment which residents will be able to make use of throughout their time in treatment.
The beneficial effects of exercise for those in recovery are well documented and include: a reduction in stress, better sleep, improved mood, a stronger immune system and increased energy.
