14 days x 10 people x £10

Having witnessed myself this year, for the first time, the joy and hope generated by the Lourdes Pilgrimage, I am asking you to help me spread that joy and hope as I pedal my way through Britain from 7th - 20th September - and make a small contribution to enable an Assisted Pilgrim to participate in the 2026 Lourdes Pilgrimage

14 days x 10 people x £10 = £1,400

As simple as that.....

EVERY PENNY will be put towards funding an Assisted Pilgrim's trip to the Ampleforth Lourdes Pilgrimage 2026. (All expenses have already been settled personally)

Presuming I have enough puff left in me on arriving at each day's destination (pedalling 1,000 miles overall from Cornwall to Caithness) I plan to publish a daily picture and short post to keep all supporters updated and connected.

Thank you!

AMPLEFORTH LOURDES PILGRIMAGE

Our mission is to ensure that we continue to enable pilgrims to answer the call of Our Lady to come to Lourdes, particularly Assisted Pilgrims and the Clinical Staff and Young Helpers who support them. We also endeavour to bring the message and gifts we experience in Lourdes back home to those who cannot travel with us through a range of online and offline events during the year. Without generous donations from our friends we would not be able to offer the financial assistance required to enable these groups to join us and cover the many other expenses involved with running a Pilgrimage.

We hope that you will support us in remaining an inclusive Pilgrimage that ensures we respond to the need to help those of limited means.
