Story
The number of people sleeping rough in the UK is troubling. To do our bit, we set ourselves a challenge. Charity fundraisers are supposed to be gruelling, so this weekend Dave and Nic plan to:
- Cycle two hundred miles...
- In two days...
- Through Wales...
- Sleeping Rough...
- In November...
- On a tandem...
- ...and since it's the season, we've grown moustaches for the occasion!
There a too many people on the streets of Bristol every night because the support systems are simply not there. Numbers have been climbing since 2010 - what a coincidence - and it is the same story all across the country. St Mungos does a great job in helping as best they can, please donate. We plan to make ourselves thoroughly uncomfortable for two days so that fewer people have to be uncomfortable every night.
