Story

Hi! My name’s Erin and I’m 9 years old.

I was watching the BBC Children in Need programme and it made me really sad to see that some children don’t have as much money than other people or are going through really hard times. I wanted to do something to help — so I decided to get on my bike and raise money to make a difference!

I’m going to cycle 80 miles in 25 days, which is about 3.2 miles every day! 🚴‍♀️ From 20th October to 14th November.

Sometimes my dog Zoro is coming along with me — but only when it’s not raining because he really doesn’t like getting wet! 🐶💦

I’m doing this to help BBC Children in Need, because I think every child should have someone who cares about them and helps when things are tough.

The money I raise will go to projects all over the UK that support children who need it most — like kids who don’t have enough food, are sad or worried, or need help because of illness or disability.

Every mile I pedal is for them. 🥰

👉 Please donate today and help me reach my goal!

Every pound you give will help change a child’s life — and together we can make sure no child faces life’s toughest moments alone.

Thank you so much for helping me and Zoro make a difference — together we can spread some smiles and hope! 🚴‍♀️🐾💛
