I'm cycling 91 miles to change young lives from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Castle
On Sunday 5 October, I will be taking part in Palace to Palace and cycling 90 miles from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Castle and raising fund for the King’s Trust.
The King'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.
Following a cost of living crisis and pandemic which impacted their education, early careers and wellbeing, there are now almost 1 million young people not currently in work, education or training.
Please help me to support The King's Trust by sponsoring my Palace to Palace cycle ride and sharing my page. Just a £20 donation could provide one young person with an inspiring two hours of work experience in a stable job in a thriving sector

My Updates
Well the day is done 🍾🍾
Sunday 5th Oct Well the big day arrived and went really well a bit fresh first thing this morning at the mall in the dark but I soon warmed up and once out of London and traffic lights set into a steady pace and tackled a few nasty climbs in Surrey hills national landscape out of there and on to more home roads through Ripley and and onto Virginia waters down to old Windsor to be met with a nasty headwind (felt like I’d been riding into the wind all day) and onto the long walk through Windsor and onto the finish line with a garmin time of 6:51:58 so under 7 hours for almost 91 miles
