Hi, I’m John Young, Health & Safety Officer at Autism Unlimited and this year I’m taking on a 300km cycling challenge to raise money for something incredibly important to me a defibrillator for Portfield Sixth Form.

Working in health and safety, I see every day how vital it is to have the right equipment available when it’s needed most. A defibrillator is one of those things you hope you never have to use, but having one close by can make all the difference in an emergency. It could save a life.

I’ll be putting in the miles on my bike to help make this happen, and by the time I complete this challenge, I will have cycled over 500km

You can see the routes for each day of the cycle here:

Day 2: https://connect.garmin.com/app/course/458966086

Day 3 pt 2: https://connect.garmin.com/app/course/452571266

Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to giving our students and staff the protection they deserve. I'd be ever so grateful for your support.

Thank you for backing me and helping keep our Sixth Form community safe.
