Here at YMCA Milton Keynes, we believe every young person should have a safe place to belong and the support they need to contribute and thrive in our local community. The YMCA encourages young people to be involved in group activities, and as part of that this year they will be walking along the Jurassic Coast.

I am supporting the YMCA in their Jurassic Coast challenge and your donations will be funding their adventure!

This is the bike ride I will be doing....

On Sunday 14th May I will be taking part in a cycling sportive, cycling 85 miles around Pitlochry... with 1,630 metres of climbing!

From Monday 15th May to Friday 19th May I will be cycling from Scotland to Wales ... unsupported (alone!) - and I'm the person that gets lost at the end of the road, my sat nav and I have had a couple of arguments during training!!! I'll be cycling 440 miles... with lots for climbs!

Finally on Saturday 20th May I will be taking part in the CARTEN100, cycling from Cardiff to Tenby... with 1,324 metres of climbing!

This is by far the biggest challenge I've ever done, I'm doing it as I believe the residents of the YMCA deserve this support... as do the staff and volunteers, who are all amazing and work so hard to help young people thrive.
