Cycling the entire length of mainland Britain. Riding over 1,000 miles from Land's End to John O'Groats

A £35 donation would pay for a week's Speech and Language Therapy for 1 child with Down's Syndrome. One of the greatest barriers for children with Down's syndrome in assessing their local community is difficulty with Speech and Language.

Story

Hi everyone! I'm Lee. Thanks for checking out my fundraising page.

I’m embarking on a butt-busting voyage of over 1,000 miles, pedalling my fully loaded bike from one end of the UK to the other - and wild camping along the way - all to raise money for the brilliant Swindon Down's Syndrome Group.

Swindon Down's Syndrome Group is a volunteer-led group that excels in helping local people living with Down's Syndrome and their families in Swindon and Wiltshire.

I’ll be starting at Land’s End, at the bottom of England, and after about two weeks of hills, beautiful British weather (...ugh, I'm going to get drenched, aren't I?), and probably a lot of talking to myself, I’ll roll into John O’Groats at the top of Scotland.

This is a cause close to my heart, as my youngest brother, Travis, has Down's Syndrome. Travis and my family have benefitted first-hand from the Group's tireless work.

Some of the Group's excellent work includes:

- providing Speech Therapy sessions to build communication skills, and facilitating paid work placements for local people with Down's Syndrome.

- organising social events and activities, building a fantastic community and sense of belonging.

- raising awareness of Down's Syndrome, supporting new parents of children with Down's Syndrome, and building a great network of local groups and businesses who continue to support the group.

I would greatly appreciate any support and funds that can be donated towards this fantastic charity and make all of this pain worthwhile.
