Cycle for C

In memory of my beautiful boyfriend Courtney, my sister (Kate), best friend (Ruth) and I will be doing a 48 mile (approx) bike ride from my home town (Manchester) to Leeds (Courtney’s home town), to raise money for both a special memorial and charities and causes close to Courtney and his family’s hearts.

The cycle will take place on August 1st, 2020 starting at the canal route from Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester ending in Meanwood, Leeds.

There are 3 places the donations will be shared amongst:

1. Some of the donations will be going towards the creation of a beautiful memorial at Courtney’s place of rest. 

2. The Movement for Black Lives and The Black Curriculum. Courtney was extremely proud of his family and who he is. I know if he was here today he would make it his mission to continue to spread awareness of the issues that have affected generations and do all he could to support a movement that’s so important to him, his family, friends and millions of others.

3. A Smile for a Child (charity helping disabled children participate in sports). Courtney was a selfless, kind hearted man with plans and dreams of setting up a business in sport aimed at encouraging and bringing together children of all abilities to be active and enjoy sport (Everybody’s Able). Due to Courtney’s unfortunate and sudden passing, his dream to get children enjoying sport together was unable to be made a reality. Therefore, some of the money raised will be donated to this charity (in his name) who provide similar opportunities. 

Courtney had an extremely lasting, positive impact on many people’s lives, constantly putting others before himself. The amount of love in Courtney’s heart is something spoke of so often with everyone that knew him. So, I would like to share the love and passion Courtney gave to my life with others.

(As we are not experienced cyclists, we would really appreciate any help with bike borrowing or rental and any tips on cycling long distance)
