My Charity Bike Ride 2025 in aid of The Great North Children’s Hospital & MediCinema. This is my 5th year and I’ll be taking on a new route and cycling 100 miles from our home in Thornaby to the RVI Newcastle and back again in a day.

This is my 5th solo charity bike ride to raise money for two brilliant causes who have given Henry and ourselves amazing care and support every time we have been to the RVI, throughout Henry's multiple operations and visits.

Since my 1st charity bike ride, the support and money raised has been overwhelming and motivates me to keep going and want to do more! The rides have been very challenging but the feeling when I get to the finish is such a great sense of achievement.

This year’s ride could see me reach a huge milestone in raising £10,000 over the 5 years between the two charities which would be amazing!

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving Page, wishing me good luck on my next ride and for any donations to these two amazing charities.

I'd like to keep funds as equal as possible please for both causes.

Thank You

Matthew, Rebekah, Henry and Arlo.
