On Sunday 10th May, I’ll be taking on the 100-mile Velo Belvoir sportive to raise money and awareness for Sport in Mind.

Sport in Mind is a fantastic charity dedicated to improving mental health through sport and physical activity. They provide safe, supportive environments where people can engage in sport, boost their wellbeing, improve physical health, and reduce social isolation. Their work changes lives by showing how powerful movement and community can be for mental wellbeing.

Sport has always played a huge role in my own life. From playing football growing up and later coaching a youth team, to trying kayaking in my first year at university, and joining the university cycling club 1.5 years ago. This has allowed me to meet some amazing people, create unforgettable memories, and help boost l my own mental health.

That’s why I’m challenging myself to complete this 100-mile ride, to help support others who could benefit from the opportunities that sport provides.

Any donation, big or small, would mean a great deal and will go directly towards supporting the vital work that Sport in Mind does every day.

Thank you so much for your support
