I'm cycling miles to change young lives from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Castle
On Sunday 6th October, I will be taking part in the Palace to Palace Ultra bike ride, 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.
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 King'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.

1) I was subject to anti social behaviour, a teenager crashing into my front wheel, damaging my bike
2) My lower back was tight and sore after the 31 mile ride last weekend
3) I had a bad stomach for a few days that made me unwell on Monday
But don't worry, I'm on the mend, I'm dropping my bike off for repairs today and I'll be back on the training next week when I get my bike back!
