I am supporting my yoga buddy Ian in this amazing but ridiculous event to raise money for local charity The One Love Project and MIND in memory of his dear late wife Sue. The One Love Project does wonderful work to support those in need locally with a wide range of services whilst SECE MIND are there for everyone when they are at their most vulnerable which can hit any of us when we least expect it.

I am just a small part of a 24 hour event being organised by TruGym Thorpe Bay who are hosting a range of activities during the period. Extra details in the gallery above.

I will be riding a static bike for as many hours of the 24 as possible with a target mileage of no less than 300 miles in the period. 🤞

Ian has explained more below around his background and I hope you can all donate to support on what will a very looooong day.

Thank you.

Paul

My Story, Mmmm firstly all that I do for this challenge is in Honour of my late wife Sue ❤️now the old me would go into much detail as to why I’ve committed to this great cause not to mention challenge however the new me wants this to be about the fantastic people I’ve met over the last 30 months who have befriended me & shown great support compassion & empathy towards me not only @ TruGym but in everything I do…obviously my family & friends have done the hard miles with me but I’m touched by the love & kindness I’ve received by complete strangers many of whom have become lovely friends. TruGym is more than just a gym I look on it as a wellness centre & the hub of the local community & when talking to many of you you feel the same I have to mention Roisin ( manager ) who together with the wonderful staff make this a safe & wonderful place to be & not just to exercise as sometimes having a chat & coffee is all that’s needed So I know Roisin has been trying to get this event going for a few years now & i am delighted to help in her Quest to again support the local community & beyond & in supporting her the staff all the great people of our wonderful gym we now have an opportunity to give a little something back & say thank you for our gym & support The one love project & Mind our charities for this event…

So if you see this / posters / social media ( apologies in advanced going to drive you mad ) please have a chat sign up to events join me on the bike through the 24 hrs & where you can donate what you can as every donation will make a difference to many lives

in loving memory of Susan Barton❤️

So I leave you in peace for now but am sending you all of my love & light to take into today 🙏

& don’t forget we are the love ❤️ we are the power 🩵
