2,200 miles Virtual cycle from Salford Civic Centre to Salford's Twin Towns (Saint-Ouen, Clermont-Ferrand, Narbonne and Lunen) and back to the Civic Centre again between 1st September 2020 and 18th December 2020.

COVID has got in the way of many plans this year and many charities and good causes are feeling the impact as fundraisers have been cancelled all over the world.

I work for Salford City Council and the Ceremonial Mayor's Charity Appeal has also been impacted. The charities being supported this year are as follows:

Mind in Salford

An independent user focused charity providing vital services to make a positive difference to the wellbeing and mental health of local people.

Proud & Loud Arts

Established in 2000, Proud & Loud Arts creates accessible performance which explores social understanding, demystification and the use of disability labels.

Hershel Weiss Family Centre

Hershel Weiss supports families and children in a wide range of family issues - how to be a parent, parental mental health, poverty, victims of abuse and domestic violence, health promotion, education and employment.

I've decided to do what I can to raise some funds for these great causes so have set my myself the personal challenge of virtually cycling the above route. My progress should update regularly from Strava to this page.

Wish me luck and please donate if you can.
