I'm cycling miles on Sunday 4 October to change young lives!

At a time where almost a million young people in the UK are out of work, The King’s Trust are committed to ending youth unemployment, and I’m doing my part by taking on Palace to Palace! I’ve challenged myself to cycle 50/100 miles across London and raise funds to help young people get into work.

The King's Trust (formerly known as The Prince’s Trust) is a youth charity providing long-term support and tailored programmes that empower young people across the UK to transform their lives. Every penny raised will help break down barriers, open doors and support young people to build the confidence and skills they need to find work.

Please help me support The King's Trust by sponsoring my Palace to Palace challenge and sharing my page to double the impact. A donation of £26 could cover the cost of travel for an isolated young person to attend a one-week King’s Trust course, helping them build vital skills and gain valuable work experience.

My Updates

First 100 miles

Tuesday 25th Aug
I've wanted to do a 100 miler for a while now but as I'm predominantly a mountain biker this has to date been in the back of my mind.
Well not any more, while recovering from a back injury i decided the best fehab would be the lingest distance ride to date. I've never done more than 50 miles, I've done what i always do and said I'd train and haven't but I've committed so I'll do it.
As part of my registration i need to raise £150. Any donations and even the smallest amount would be welcome.
