Challenge:

To raise funds for Bella, Poppy & Pixie’s gymnastics trip to Italy, I’ll be cycling 40 miles every day for a month in Cyprus — that’s over 1,200 miles in total!

we’re fundraising to send three talented young gymnasts — Bella, Poppy & Pixie — to an international competition in Cesenatico, Italy on 3–5 April 2026. This is a rare opportunity for them to compete internationally, gain experience, and showcase months (and years!) of hard work

Progress updates:

I’ll be logging my rides every day, sharing photos, and updating the distance covered so everyone can follow along. You’ll be able to see the effort mile by mile.

What the money will cover (approximate, per gymnast)

• Flights (return): £300–£320

• Accommodation (bed & 3 meals): €40 per night (hostel-style sharing)

• Airport / local transfers: ~£80 total (Manchester + Bologna transfers)

• Entry fee: €45

All funds raised will go directly to travel, accommodation, competition entry and safe on-the-ground transport.

Why we need your help

Attending this event is a big financial commitment. Estimated costs per gymnast are currently around £570, which includes flights, accommodation, transport and entry fees. We want every child who qualifies to be able to go — regardless of family circumstances — and that’s where your support makes a real difference.

A Final Thank You ✨

We will be so grateful for every donation, share, and word of encouragement. Your support doesn’t just cover costs — it gives Bella, Poppy & Pixie the chance to shine on the international stage and create memories that will last a lifetime.
