My daughter, Poppy, and I are taking part in Rival Ride, a multiday cycle ride, finishing at The Stoop for the final home game of the season over the weekend of 16-18 May 2025.​ We have not cycled on a tandem together since she was 10, and she is now 22 - just need to put the saddle up a bit!

By taking on this challenge, we are supporting the Harlequins Foundation so they can continue delivering their life-changing work in the local community and helping young people to achieve their full potential, as well as supporting the local Lycra suppliers #smallbusiness.

From educational and employability programmes to inclusion and wellbeing, their focus is on inspirational, sustainable and transformative solutions that tackle inequality, poor health and the challenges facing the most vulnerable in society. Through these initiatives, and with your support, they are able to improve the outcomes for thousands of young people and give them the best chance to succeed in life.

We may not be able to walk again so please donate to this cause so we have something to show for it.
