Slowly cycling from where I live on the northern edge of Bristol to where I was born, on the northern edge of County Durham (Consett) has been on my retirement bucket list for while. I will enjoy the (self supported) challenge but would very much like to combine my trip with something a bit less selfish, so I would be grateful if you would help me to raise some money for an important, often unsung, local charity that does great work on a shoestring for those that just need a little help in Staple Hill. Many thanks.
