As most of you know, my sons, Sam and Tom, attend Lambrook School in Berkshire.

On Thursday 25 April, members of the Lambrook Community, including the Headmaster, will join together to take on the 201 mile challenge of cycling from Lambrook School to Paris, in just 3 days!

Those cycling will be raising funds for the Lambrook Foundation and the following areas that it supports:

• International Partnership School - Hope Valley Farm School, South Africa

• Schools’ Partnership work with local Berkshire schools

• Transformational Bursary provision through the Royal National Children’s Springboard Foundation

• Pupil chosen House Charities - Thames Valley Adventure Playground, Rosie’s Rainbow, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and Camp Mohawk

Although not a novice cyclist, I've never attempted such a long ride. Being perched on the saddle for so long will be a major challenge.

Thank you for your support.
