Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Jay and I are cycling 450 miles from Edinburgh to London on a tandem in memory of Graeme Porteous, who sadly passed away on an avalanche in February 2015. Graeme was a great supporter of The Change Foundation and the work they do, using the power of sport and dance to engage with marginalised and at-risk young people facing some of the world's toughest challenges. The cycle ride takes place between Monday 26th-Friday 30th September, when we will arrive at the Olympic Park in Stratford. We are both very motivated and excited to be taking on this mammoth challenge, as even though neither of us knew Graeme personally, he is very well regarded and has left a very positive legacy with the charity. 

We would both be really grateful for your support with this wonderful cause and if anyone sponsors us £100 or more, we will personally take you for a pint as a thank you!
