Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

3 days after my 50th birthday, I will be joining the Sage Team to cycle 85 miles in one day, taking part in The Dirty Reiver which is one of Europe’s biggest and toughest gravel events. This is not just a ride; it's a real test of stamina, skill and self-reliance in the beauty of the UK's wild landscapes.

As part of Sage Foundation’s exciting partnership with CVYP, I am delighted to support their fundraising campaign to further enhance the fantastic and unique Chirdon Head Outdoor Centre in Kielder Forest. Our goal is to raise at least £15,000 to make a significant impact.

The Cramlington Voluntary Youth Project (CVYP) plays a vital role in supporting the social and personal development of young people aged 8 to 25 years, including those with disabilities. They offer recreational and outdoor activities, accredited schemes like the Duke of Edinburgh Award, and provide guidance and support in a safe and friendly environment.
