In awe of Sara Cox, who is working through a marathon a day for each weekday this week, I thought I would jump on the spin bike and complete 5 days worth of challenge yourself to 25 in one sitting (literally!)

On Friday 14th, I will complete 125km on a spin bike, which could take me between 4-5 hours!!

To kick it all off, I will teach my spin class in the studio at Riverside Leisure Centre at 10.15am, and then bring the bike out into the reception/foyer area to complete the rest of the challenge.

Right now, too many children across the UK are facing life’s toughest moments alone. Many are living in poverty, facing mental health struggles, grief, disability, or growing up in communities impacted by violence. Every child deserves someone who shows up for them.

That’s why I’m fundraising for BBC Children in Need.

Your donations will fund local people and projects across the UK that provide vital support to children and young people when they need it most. No child has to face life’s toughest moments alone.

Donate online or pop down to the centre to cheer me along/bring snacks/donate with cash

Thank you!
