I'm cycling 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 45 or 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

90 Miles Palace to Palace

Tuesday 5th Aug
On 5th October 2025, I’ll be cycling 90 miles from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Castle as part of Team Capgemini, raising funds for The King's Trust - a charity that empowers young people to build brighter futures through education, employment, and enterprise.

I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone and take on a challenge that’s both physically demanding and deeply meaningful, and 90 miles of cycling will be just that!

💙 Why This Matters to Me
Young people today face many barriers—mentally, physically, and socially. Having experienced my own struggles growing up, I know how hard it can be to see a way forward. Breaking into the tech industry wasn’t easy, but I did it and I want this ride to be a message to others: if I can do it, so can you.

This challenge is more than just a ride. It’s a symbol of resilience, growth, and hope. I’m doing this to show that with support, determination, and opportunity, anything is possible.

I’m proud to be doing this as part of Team Capgemini, a company that truly values inclusion, wellbeing, and personal growth. Their support has played a huge role in my journey, and I’m excited to carry that spirit into this challenge.

So if you have some spare change, please donate to this wonderful cause. 

Thank you for supporting me and The King's Trust. Let’s ride towards a future full of opportunity and hope.
