Story

🚴‍♂️ I'm cycling 170 miles across the country on the Way of the Roses to raise money for a charity close to my heart – the Royal Engineers Association (REA).

The REA supports serving and former members of the British Army’s Corps of Royal Engineers – the Sappers – and their families, offering financial help, employment support, mental health resources, and more.

It’s going to be a tough ride (especially with my short legs!), but every mile is for a great cause.

🙏 Please donate if you can – your support means a lot!

Thank you!
