Vienna to Prague

I will be taking on the Vienna to Prague cycle challenge this June 2023, covering 250 miles over three days. The hills will be challenging, requiring us to cycle up the equivalent of Ben Nevis nearly three times.

With too many lycra clad cyclists on the road, I decided the age old saying "if you can't beat em, join em" was long overdue + the chance to devour countless calories alongside some cracking beer seemed like an excellent challenge.

My training has soon convinced me I can't simply get on the bike and ride 250miles up mountains. This will be tough.

We are raising money for three, small charities who all desperately need our help. They are:

* Momentum Children’s Charity: which supports families across London, Surrey and Sussex whose children have been diagnosed with cancer or a life-challenging condition. The charity partners with local NHS hospitals, offering personally tailored support to the entire family, both in hospital and at home, through its team of Family Support Workers.

* Rethink Mental Illness: Rethink Mental Illness is the charity for people severely affected by mental illness. They provide expert information and services, and campaign to improve the lives of people living with mental illness, their families, friends and carers.

* Triangle Adventure Playground: London’s oldest on site adventure playground which offers exciting free play to all young people aged 6 – 17, targeting those most economically and socially disadvantaged in Lambeth.

Every penny raised will be match funded by the Berkeley Group, DOUBLING any donation you give.

With your help, we can support more children with life threatening illnesses, help more mentally ill people to receive advice and support, and keep London’s oldest adventure playground going. Please give whatever you can.
