Once again I am joining the WHOOSH team who, this year, will be undertaking a 280 mile pedal power adventure, following the River Severn from where it rises in the Cambrian Mountains of mid-Wales to Bristol and the sea.

River health and habitat has risen in the public conscience over the years as we have become aware of their importance and fragility.

This is why we would love you to help us support the fantastic river loving charity Thames21.

Thames21 works to transform London and the Thames basin into a healthier more climate resilient region with rivers that everyone can enjoy. They mobilise thousands of volunteers each year to clean up and the transform the basin’s 400mile network of rivers.

The donations:

All donations are sent directly to the charity from JustGiving, with no costs deducted, and as usual, the team fund all expenses themselves.
