Thank you for finding your way to our Bull Ring to Bull Ring fundraising page.

In just a few days, Buddy and I will set off from Birmingham’s Bull Ring and cycle all the way to Barcelona’s former bullring, covering more than 1,000 miles across England, France and Spain.

We’re taking on this challenge to raise money for the Buddy Bag Foundation, a charity that provides essential items and a small sense of comfort to children who have had to leave unsafe situations with little or nothing of their own.

The journey will take us down the west coast of France on the Vélodyssée before crossing into Spain and heading east through the foothills of the Pyrenees towards the Mediterranean and our final destination in Barcelona.

There will undoubtedly be challenges along the way. Long days in the saddle, changing weather, tired legs and the occasional mechanical issue are all part of the adventure. But every donation helps keep us moving and reminds us why we’re doing it.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far. Your generosity means a great deal to us and to the children and families supported by the Buddy Bag Foundation.

If you’re able to contribute, we’d be enormously grateful.
