Making strides for our senses: 500 mile cycling challenge

Making Strides for our Senses
Campaign by SmellTaste (RCN 1175553)
We’re aiming to raise £10,000 as part of our 50 Ways to Raise £50k, and together we can do it, one mile at a time. Our plan is to collectively cover 5000 miles – roughly five times the distance between the smell and taste clinics we work with.

Story

Between now and the end of October, I'm going to cycle a minimum of 500 miles and raise £1 for every mile I cycle as part of the SmellTaste 'Making Strides for our Senses' collective fundraising challenge.

The plan is that collectively we will cover 5000 miles - that's roughly five times the distance between the smell and taste clinics that SmellTaste work with in England. Our intention is to cover that distance between us to demonstrate the need for more smell and taste clinics across the UK, and indeed the world!

The miles I cycle, and the money I raise, will go towards our 5,000 mile and £10,000 target. I'm aiming to get closer to 1,000 miles!

Please make a donation to support SmellTaste with the vital work that we are doing on behalf of the many people like me living with unrecognised sensory impairments that can have a huge impact on quality of life, mental health and safety.

I'm planning to do some rides to catch up with some of the people who I've met on my journey with the charity over the last 13 years and will be sharing these on my Instagram page.
