Story

"A grand don't come for free" but try 4 of them with no rest days!

Much as I enjoy cycling, 4000km in 3 weeks isn't going to come easy and I'm going to need more than espresso and a post ride beer to get me over the line. The thought that my effort could translate into support for the students at RMT schools and colleges will make the difference on the those tough days.

RMT creates wonderful learning opportunities for children who are at risk of missing out on education. From small beginnings the Trust has set up many centres where children with SEND can learn academic and practical skills in harmonious surroundings.

I am paying my own costs so all donations go direct to RMT.
