Things To Do

We still have to sort out the exact start date of the trip, the least hilly route, our mileage per day, a support vehicle, accommodation, fundraising, gift aid, press coverage and a training schedule.

All of this and we start cycling in under 3 months! A couple of the team members have not been on a bike for years but I have the upmost confidence in them.

My aim is to raise £10,000 for Different Strokes, as I am personally aware of the costly help that’s needed for young stroke survivors. Most of us think stroke only happens to older people but 10, 000 people under the age of 55 suffer a stroke every year within the UK - 1,000 of these are under the age of 30. I was 32 when I had my 2 strokes. Different Strokes directs their support to these people.

Organising this event (never mind the actual cycle ride) is a big challenge but I’m optimistic.
