Tour de Friends · 4 August 2021

We support those affected by H.I.E. (Hypoxic-Ischaemic Encephalopathy), which is a lack of oxygen and/or blood flow to the brain that can cause injury. We offer emotional, social, practical, financial and support, at any stage of the H.I.E. journey, and want to ensure that no one feels alone.

Story

In August 2021 - assuming it's safe, COVID-19-wise - I will be cycling 1345km with 13000m of climbing, from Edinburgh-Plymouth-London, raising money for PEEPS, a charity who work to increase awareness and support families going through the trauma of losing a newborn child.  

Lockdown has been hard on all of us, as has a lack of physical contact with the people closest to us. So instead of logging into Zoom, I will be visiting the majority of my UK-based friends-and-family's houses via the power of my legs. 

Full disclosure, I'll be taking a few days in the middle to hang out with my nephews who I've not seen for 18 months, so I'm not doing it in a straight oner - but it will still be the biggest, highest, probably rainiest proper cycle challenge I've done.

I'm hoping to raise at least £1 per KM travelled. Go on! Chip in.
