Ballycastle to Fanad Head Cycle Ride

Thank you for clicking the link:

Sefton Childrens Trust aims to provide a 3 year programme of events and activities for families experiencing difficulties, focusing on families with young people aged 8 - 11 years who in the main reside in Sefton.

These young people may be young carers, living in families who are experiencing difficulties, or may themselves have special needs including learning difficulties or behavioural problems.

The highlight of our programme is a week long summer residential experience, enjoyed for the last few years at Manor Adventure, Shropshire. For most young people this is not only their sole experience of a holiday but also a respite from their often difficult daily lives.

During the residential experience the young people develop confidence and team skills in a fun environment whilst enjoying the experience of being a young person.

For many of them its the first time they experience the opportunity to make choices, to discover areas where they can ?shine? by being encouraged to achieve personal goals.

Many of the stresses these young people face in their daily lives are removed, as they are provided with appropriate protective clothing, equipment for their activities, toiletries and food.

This charity soley depends upon the generous dontations to keep operating and chnaging young people's lives.

Therefore a group of us have decided to support this fantastic charity with our annual Ireland cyling challenge. This year see's us cycling almost 200 miles in 3 days, suffering hills, hells and horizontal rain. This year's roll call for the ride is:
Paul Rigney
Mark Harrop
Alan Collins
Eddie Goulding
Owen Hough
Lee Chamberlain
Mike Fogg
Tim Downey
Joao Acioli

None of us are athletes by any stretch of the imagination. Just a group of middle aged men in lycra who will wish they were at home instead of being soaked on an Irish hill side. If you would like to support this fantastic charity and help us to our target, then please donate what you can.

Thank You for taking the time to read this.
