Yes, I know. I said I would never do it again.

But this really will be my last one. I'm doing it to celebrate 40 years of Pan Intercultural Arts using the arts to inspire social change.

I'm doing it because there will be 40 of us on the road, pedalling and fundraising, including some of our young participants.

I'm doing it because Pan is opening a new centre for its work with survivors of trafficking, young asylum seekers and refugees and those young people failed by the system and in danger of sliding into crime.

And we need to equip that centre so we can increase the number of people we help who have suffered trauma, displacement, exploitation and social injustice. It will be a brilliant and much needed place. We hope you will come and visit it.

When you donate to Pan, you’re not just giving money — you’re helping to create life-changing moments for young people who leave us ready to lead fulfilling lives, free of fear and limitations.

So, if I promise (really promise) never to do it again, will you help us to raise the money we need to make this happen?

Thank you so much

and think of me on September 14th!
