One Firm One Day will see thousands of PwC people across the UK take part in fundraising and volunteering for a number of charities. Funds raised will support the charities mentioned on the individual fundraising pages, via the PwC Foundation.

I am going to ride 300km in one day on the weekend of 17-18 May looking to raise money for both Mental Health UK and The Charlie Waller Trust. PwC will match up to £500 for MH-UK as our official charity Partner and £250 for The Charlie Waller Trust.

I work at PwC and I am Instructor for MHFA England.

For those familiar with Strava, there is a challenge each month to complete a 100km ride called a Gran Fondo. May 2025 marks my 100th consecutive Strava Gran Fondo going back to Feb 2017. In order to celebrate that I wanted to ride 300km in one go as my longest distance ever with a loop around London.

I have been remarkably lucky to have had good enough health to complete this (although I have had two very small TIAs and surgery to a brain aneurysm in that time).

My mental health has been mostly very good during that time and getting out on my bike has been a significant factor for that.

Timing seems to have conspired really well for May 2025 as it is out One Firm One Day campaign, Mental Health Awareness week is that week, MH-UK is our charity partner and it is my 100th, 100km challenge.

I hope you will consider donating to my challenge.

PS I thought a picture of my bike was far more attractive than an old man in lycra...
