Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Sunday 26th May I will be taking part in RideLondon-Essex, a 100 miles bicycle event, as part of my son's school team of 10 more or less committed hobby riders. Some have completed this kind of distance before, but I have never cycled more than 60 miles in my life. I consider myself quite fit but it will be a challenge for me (also as there is an 8 hour time limit) and I have only a few weeks to ramp up from my more typical 30km rides in Richmond park.

With this event I will be taking raising funds to support the outstanding quality of education at The Tiffin School in Kingston.

The Tiffing School has been a beacon of education and learning for many years. It has nurtured countless young minds, empowering them with knowledge, skills, and values that serve as the foundation for their future success.

However, as a state school, the Tiffing School faces its fair share of challenges in maintaining and enhancing the quality of education it provides. The Tiffin Education Fund helps us to extend the academic program within the School. Not only are we able to offer a wider curriculum and additional learning resources, we are constantly improving our ICT infrastructure.

Furthermore, Tiffin students benefit hugely from the Tiffin Education Fund supporting a comprehensive program of wider opportunities including sports, music and performing arts. There is a range of clubs and activities that are directly funded and can operate due to the provision of resources from the Fund.

Your contribution will support the school in its continued aspiration to offer an outstanding and wide-ranging education for young people.
