Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Over the past few years I have been involved with several arts projects  designed at raising awareness of refugees' stories and experiences.

Those journeys are never easy so I'd also like to do something that takes some willpower, albeit nothing like the many narratives and difficulty I've heard and shared recently.

More than ever we need to be open, welcoming and humane to those with less than us.

So the challenge you are supporting me on is..... I am going to cycle the distance from Homs (Syria) to York , that is 2,250 miles, in 100 days

£1 per mile? Nah, just throw a few quid in the e-bucket and I will pedal at least 22.5 mile per day on a turbo bike trainer in my garage in York! * I'm on day 2 and my arse bones are already screaming!
