For those of you who know me get that sport and fitness are a huge part of my life, and have been since I was a child.

Football, cricket, golf and running have been my staple hobbies, but I’m always up for a challenge, and even more so when it pushes me out of my comfort zone combined with the opportunity to raise some much-welcome funds and awareness for charity.

That’s why I have agreed to ride 270km (170 miles) across the scenic routes of Norfolk from June 4 to 6.

I’ll be joined by other riders from across the hospitality industry as we take on the 'Pedalling To Pubs 2026' challenge to raise money for the Licensed Trade Charity and Only a Pavement Away.

Both charities work tirelessly to provide support, assistance, and opportunities to vulnerable individuals within the hospitality industry, including those facing poverty, homelessness and other challenges.

Please do donate what you can and help spread the word.

Thanks for taking the time to read my fundraising story. Jon x
