I'm taking part in the Starting Blocks Challenge to help Dame Kelly Holmes Trust change what's possible for those young people who are facing challenges in their everyday lives.

A Starting Block is the person, place or moment that inspired you to become who you are today. Not every young person has the opportunity or inspiration to unlock their potential and find their Starting Block in life.

For my part, I am working towards cycling 1991 (the year Brooks Macdonald was founded) kms by the date of BM's Dame Kelly Holmes Trust Sports Day on 1 September. To complete this challenge, (and to add a few tears, much pain and make it worthy of your cash!) I and a couple of colleagues will be cycling from Munich to Venice, up and over the Alps, from 24-28 August.

The Trust works with world-class athletes who use their experience at the highest levels of sport to mentor young people. Over the next ten years the Trust aims to support 10,000 young people through programmes designed to improve their wellbeing, help them build healthy relationships and establish the confidence, self-esteem and resilience they need to achieve in education, work and life.

Please sponsor me on my challenge and join me in supporting the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust.
