Hi, I'm Katie!

On June 1st, I'll embark on the greatest adventure of my life! Challenging myself like never before for a cause close to my heart. I will be cycling solo a journey of around 1,069 miles across the UK! From the most southern point of England to the most northern point of Scotland.

Land's End to John o' Groats!

I am taking on this challenge to help create something truly special for the five incredible individuals I have the privilege of supporting who are at the heart of this journey and you can help me turn the dream into their reality!

I am fundraising to build a sensory summer house, a personalized purpose-built space filled with sensory equipment and activities designed specifically to support their unique individual needs and well being. Allowing them to not only relax and engage but to thrive and live life to the fullest while they navigate the world through their sensory experiences in the comfort of their own home.

Before the pandemic, these individuals regularly attended a local day centre, where their social and sensory needs were met through structured, meaningful activities. Unfortunately, following post-COVID funding cuts, they were unable to return, and the closure of that service has left a lasting gap in their lives. The sensory summer house is our way of restoring some of what was lost—bringing back that much-needed stimulation, connection, and sense of purpose in a way that’s accessible and long-term.

Any donation whether big or small is appreciated, can't donate? No worries! Every share and kind word means the world and matters alongside bringing us one step closer to making a real difference! Thank you for your support!

Underneath you will see updates on the lead up to the 1st of June of miles that I have done in training for this adventure. From the 2nd of June I will be adding updates that include photos of where I am at that time and some videos of the journey and some of the exciting things and people I'll see along the way.

Thank you for reading and thank you so much for donating or sharing this,

Sincerely,

Katie
