I'm raising money for a brilliant charity called Red Balloon which supports children who are too frightened to go to school because of bullying, mental health problems and/or other trauma in their lives.

Having worked at Red Balloon for a while now, I’ve seen the positive impact it can have on children. I’m lucky to have such a rewarding job!  If you’d like to know more about Red Balloon and how we get learners back on track, please get in touch or read the inspirational stories on our website: www.redballoonlearner.org/stories/ 

There are apparently 16,000 children missing from school because of bullying or trauma and they desperately need Red Balloon's help. That’s why I’m challenging myself to the Red Balloon Ride. Together with others, were aiming to cycle 25,000, to raise £25,000. I was slow to get started which is why I’m doing more miles in July; your support in words and / or pennies will keep me motivated!
