A good neighbour asked me this week if I had any more crazy challanges planned...

I'm taking on the Cross England Cycle Challenge! 🚴‍♂️⛰️

In September 2026, I’ll be taking on The Message Cross England Cycle Challenge; an epic 200-mile ride across England in just two days!

It’s an opportunity to pedal outside my comfort zone, take on something incredible, and raise vital funds for Eden which is part of the Message Trust and is making a real difference.

Starting in Blackpool where we have an amazing Eden team and finishing in Grimsby, I’ll be cycling through some of the UK’s most challenging and beautiful landscapes, including a lot of gruelling hills. In the past I managed to cycle around 100 miles in one day but it was completely flat, I didn't need to keep up with anyone in lycra and I couldn't sit down the next day! This time I will be pushing myself to cycle 200 miles over two days with a lot of climbing and needing to keep up with expereinced fit cyclists.

But this challenge is about much more than cycling. Every mile I ride and pound raised will help Eden in starting new teams and supporting existing teams living and serving their communities in the UKs most underserved neighbourhoods.

In doing this I want to help raise awareness of Eden's work across the country as well as the incredible work of the Message Trust. I'm also hoping and praying I find some new personal supporters who want to partner more closley and give regualy. If that might be use please get in touch.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help me reach my fundraising target and make every mile count.

Thank you for supporting me, cheering me on and being part of this journey!
