Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the event:

On August 17 I'll be taking part in what is one of the toughest one-day bike rides in the UK, the Toughest Hundred XXL in the Peak District; it is by far the most climbing I've ever done (and I'll ever do) in a day, over 6000 meters (about the equivalent 70% of the height of Mt. Everest).

All donations will go to the fantastic London charity MahaDevi Yoga Centre who offer yoga to children and adults with additional or complex needs.

I continue to be impressed by how inclusive and welcoming a space they are and have seen first hand the huge positive impact their work has on their community.

On Mahadevi:

MahaDevi, Roberta Sumar Yoga Centre, is the first yoga centre in Europe dedicated specifically to offering Yoga for All Abilities, the Sonia Sumar Method - the Original Special Yoga founded by Sonia Sumar the Pioneer of Therapeutic Yoga for children and adults with additional and or complex needs and disabilities developed over 50 years ago. They also offer a range of group activities including our girls club, mixed abilities classes, wheelchair users group class, drum and yoga club and monthly yoga and nature walks.

Each donation can make a huge difference and is very much appreciated, no matter how big or small. For example,

£1,000 covers a 10 week work experience for a young person with additional needs.

£2,000 covers a term of adult yoga classes for adults with complex needs
