Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm embarking on the London to Brighton Bike Ride on 21 June (yikes) and raising funds to support a wonderful organisation Forest School Camps.

Forest School Camps (FSC) is an educational charity run entirely by volunteers. It aims to provide opportunities for children from all backgrounds to experience living on the land under canvas and to encourage individual resilience and self-reliance. We work to engender a sense of responsibility for each other within a small community close to nature. The organisation now has extensive experience in outdoor activity camps and its expertise in open-air education is widely recognised.

I camped with the charity from the age of 6 and when I reached adulthood I was trained to be a volunteer staff which isn't suitable for all, especially those who are disabled. Some of you may know that my brother Ashley has a rare and profound disability that requires 24 hour care. He has enjoyed camping with FSC since he was a young child and now in his thirties continues to camp every year with dedicated support from wonderful volunteers.

I'm raising money so that FSC can continue to support more disabled adults to enjoy nature in a supportive and curious way. All money raised will be dedicated to staff training, equipment, subsidies or outreach.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks for taking the time to read and any donations would be warmly received.

Thanks,
