Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am challenging myself to cover 90km on a normal bike as a commemoration of my 90th birthday. I will start at Edgbaston Priory club head through Moseley, Earlswood, to Packwood House(coffee), then through Hatton, Hampton Lucy, Wellesbourne and back via Stratford on Avon

I have chosen Acorns for 4 reasons

It is local, being based on Birmingham

It is relatively small, so every pound really counts

It is strapped for cash

But mainly because of their dedication to caring for time limited children

I’ll struggle up every hill but encouraged by any donation for this fantastic cause. Wish me luck !

John
