I'm cycling 45 miles to change young lives from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Castle
On Sunday 5th October, I will be taking part in Palace to Palace and cycling 45 miles from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Castle and raising fund for the Prince’s Trust.The Prince's Trust has tailored programmes and provides long-term support give young people the practical skills and emotional resilience to pick themselves back up and create their own positive futures.
The recent Class of Covid report reveals almost half of young people in the UK (49%) feel anxious about their future on a daily basis, with 59% agreeing it feels frightening for their generation. Findings suggest the impact of the pandemic and now a cost-of-living crisis is taking its toll on young people, as 45% agree anxiety around recent political and economic events affects them daily. More than a third (35%) feel their life is spiralling out of control, and for those from lower income backgrounds, this increases to 41%.
Please help me to support The Prince's Trust by sponsoring my Palace to Palace cycle ride and sharing my page. Just a £20 donation could provide a young person with an experienced youth worker for an hour, building their confidence, resilience and motivation during this time.

My Updates
Well this has become real
Friday 30th May Well at the time of signing up I thought this was a good idea, and in theory it is. That said I have a long way to go still and the training is getting there. The benefits for me are that it gets me out and moving more and to focus on my health and wellbeing. I am also working on my weight something I have battled with for several years.By doing this for a really good cause is also an added bonus. I will try to post updates as I go and any dramas I have along the way.
Saddle sore has a new meaning after my 23 miles last weekend. I am proud of my achievement though and will not give up. I may not be quick but I did it and as my first cycle after fairly major surgery I am happy. I will be cycling again this weekend but not entirely sure where. I will keep you posted.
