Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. We are Charlie Shickell, Brad Halliday , Phillipa Paxman and Claire Wyatt! We are 4 cyclists in our twenties.

This year , we decided to host our first charity event. We will be starting on the 20th of August. This will be a 1000 mile bike ride over 14 days. Starting in Lands End in Cornwall and finishing in John O Groats in Scotland. This is a mammoth task and we can't wait for the challenge. We will be unsupported but encourage anyone to come to join us for a day!

We are raising money for Adventure Therapy UK who offer participation in adventurous activities as a form of therapy. They focus on a persons' ability to do something, rather than the barriers which may appear to prohibit such pursuits. The activities they do provide an opportunity to become self-aware and recognize the things have been accomplished: scaling a rockface, paddling a kayak along the coast or across a lake, being in the sea and surfing a wave for the first time; facing initial (and understandable) fear and trepidation - abseiling, riding a horse or jumping from rocks into the sea. Interacting with others and making friends. 

Adventure therapy is often referred to as activity-based counseling. However, as a charity, they may work alongside individuals or groups who need nothing more than an opportunity to get outside, in an environment that may not be familiar or natural to them. A chance to interact with family or friends and learn or challenge themselves - whether that is physically, emotionally, or a combination of the two.

This is a great charity and thank you all so much for the support!
