In September, my dad and I will be tackling the renowned Fred Whitton Challenge to raise funds for Action Through Enterprise (ATE).

The ride is a true test of endurance, grimmaced at by even the most adept riders; of which I'm certainly not one! The 112-mile circuit passes through some of the most beautiful (and gruelling) terrain the Lake District has to offer, with gradients of up to 30% in places.

We're taking on this challenge to support the work of ATE, a charity that is transforming lives in rural communities of Upper West Ghana. Your support and contrubtion to this cause, no matter how big or small, will directly support community-driven development that benefits the lives of many, across multiple generations.
